lidttor  of  the  Southern  Culiforiua  Fractitioiier. 

Tins  work  will  for  many  years  be  a  valuable  book  of  reference.  History 
in  revealing  the  past  becomes  the  guide  board  of  the  future.  Read 
herein  of  the  first  meetings  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  Medical  Asso- 
ciation forty  ja'ars  ago,  of  the  organization  of  the  College  of  iledicine  of  the 
University  of  Southern  California  (now  the  Los  Angeles  Department  of  the 
College  of  Medicine  of  the  University  of  California)  more  than  a  quarter  of  a 
century  ago,  the  Salutatory  in  the  first  number  of  the  Southern  California 
Practitioner,  published  nearly  twenty-five  years  ago,  and  you  will  gain  an  in- 
sight into  the  motives  and  ambitions  that  actuated  the  niedii-al  pioneers  of  Los 
Angeles  and  of  Southern  California. 

These  records  make  a   must  c-reditable  showing. 

For  thirty-five  years  the  writer  of  tliese  lines  has  been  a  i)articipaut  in  the 
current  medical  history  of  Southern  California  and  he  is  pi'oud  to  see  it  col- 
lected and  recorded  in  this  permanent  form. 

There  were  some  striking  characters  in  the  profession  in  Los  Angeles 
thirtj'-five  years  ago.  There  was  that  impressive  looking  Irishman,  Di-.  Rich- 
ard S.  Den,  who  always  rode  a  magnificent  black  horse  groomed  to  glossy  per- 
fection. Dr.  Den  himself  was  invariably  well-groomed,  being  at  all  times 
dressed  as  though  he  were  going  to  a  wedding.  But  he  never  attended  his  own, 
and  died  at  an  advanced  age  a  liaeheloi-.  Dr.  Den  never  made  a  visit  for  less 
than  twenty  dollars. 

Then  there  was  Dr.  John  S.  (JriflKu,  a  Southern  gentlenuin,  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  who  carried  a  brusque  and  somewhat  forl)idding 
masl<  to  cover  a  tender,  generous  heart. 

Another  figure  of  those  days  was  Dr.  W.  F.  P^dgar,  a  retired  army  surgeon 
of  distinction.  He  was  a  delightful  man.  and  commanded  the  respect  of  all 
who  knew  him.  He  bought  a  lot  on  Broadway,  another  on  ]\L'iin  Street,  an- 
other corner  of  FigiU'roa  and  Washington  Streets  and  other  realty,  so  that  his 
widow — still  living  in  Los  Angeles — has  a  valuable  estate. 

Now  and  then  in  tliose  early  days  there  were  in  the  profession  those  who 
evinced  a  spirit  of  the  wild  and  breezy  west.  For  instance,  two  phj'sieians — 
still  witii  us — who  drew  their  "guns"  on  each  other  on  Main  Street  near  Tem- 
ple Block.  \o  blood  was  shed  and  their  goreless  duel  did  much  to  relieve  the 
monotony  of  lite. 

Then  tiiere  was  in  those  days  Dr.  Joseph  P.  AVidney.  the  ideal  student, 
Iiliil(isii[)lier  and   kind   i>ractitiouer. 


Every  young:  physician  found  in  him  a  i)ractical  friend  and  wise  council- 
lor. Dr.  \Vidney  i.s  a  prophet  and  a  seer.  His  great  worl{,  "Race  Life  of  tlie 
Aryan  Peoples,"  is  an  authority  wherever  the  English  language  is  I'cnd/  Dr. 
Widney  lias  a  charming  home  in  the  suburbs  on  a  street  that  bears  tlic  cuiiho- 
neous  name  of  Marmion  Way.  The  doctor  is  a  profound  lover  of  nature  Ills 
library  windows  command  a  beautiful  view  of  the  Sierra  Madre  i\h)\intaiiis. 
While  he  was  away  from  home  a  church  was  built  that  cut  off  this  \  lew.  'i'liis 
gave  him  great  distress.  He  immediately,  at  his  own  expense,  iiad  the  church 
torn  diiwn  and  idiuilt  in  another  location.  Today,  as  evening  approaches,  the 
doctor  can  sit  in  his  library  and  feast  his  eyes  and  his  soul  on  the  fascinating 
shades  and  colors  of  the  caiions,  crags  and  peaks  of  our  delectable  mountains. 

Dr.  Joseph  Kurtz  was  another  stalwart  figure  in  Los  Angeles  thirty-five 
years  ago.  He  drove  a  good  horse,  rode  in  an  excellent  "buggy,"  and  was 
always  followed  by  his  favorite  bulldoir.  The  doctor  was  then  as  ever  consiil- 
erate  of  the  young  physician,  lie  Avas  one  dT  the  founders  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Medical  College  (now  U.  C.j,  and  has  been  a  most  efficient  feachcr  there  evei- 
since. 

April  Sth,  lino,  on  tlie  instiniclor's  I'egister  at  the  cnncui'  llicrc  was  this 
entry  : 

"Joseph  Kurtz 
Good-bye  to  all." 

For  on  that  day  this  forceful  teacher,  beloved  by  all,  retired  from  the  work-. 

The  younger  physician  who  comes  to  Los  Angeles  from  the  East  and  Irmn 
the  North  and  the  South  should  read  these  ])ages  and  by  so  doin^-  hr  will  iiain 
a  well  merited  respect  for  those  who  did  the  pioneer  work. 

A  history  of  medicine  in  Sontlirrn  ( 'alirnrnia  woulil  lie  ini-<implctc  witlmnl 
the  mention  of  Dr.  Francis  L.  llaynes,  a  graduate  of  the  I'niversily  (tf  Penn- 
sylvania, who  on  account  of  his  health  left  a  large  practice  in  Philadelphia  and 
came  to  Los  Angeles  in  1887.  He  was  a  genuine  .vpostle  of  .\septic  sitrgkry. 
For  ten  years  he  did  brilliant  work  for  the  poor  as  well  as  the  rich,  and  then 
death's  hand  was  laid  upon  him.  His  surgical  work  attracted  the  favorable 
attention  of  the  profession  of  the  whole  coast,     lli'  was  indeed  a  genius. 

Los  Angeles  is  becoming  an  educational  eenter.  Its  elimate,  fei'tility  of 
soil,  l)eauty  of  scenery  and  conunei-eial  pi-ospei-ity  are  drawing  a  population 
that  demands  the  best.  In  medicine  there  is  an  abundance  of  clinical  matei-ial, 
and  a  large  corps  of  excellent  instructors,  yet  there  must  be,  in  addition,  a 
scientific  spirit  that  will  overshadow  the  commercial  spirit  if  the  worthy  col- 
lege is  to  be  developed.  It  is  the  hope  that  this  modest  little  work  will  do  some- 
thing toward  quickening  the  conscience  and  pointing  the  way.

THE  MEDICAL  PROFESSION  IN  SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA

CHAPTER  I. 
GENERAL  HISTORY. 


LANDMARKS  IN  CALITORNIA  HISTORY. 

In  order  to  have  some  landmarks  for  tlie  discussion  of  facts  to  be  later 
considered  it  may  not  be  amiss  to  present  a  brief  summary  of  a  few  of  the 
important  events  in  the  history  of  California.' 

California  has  fulfilled  in  unexpected  ways  the  romantic  fancies  that 
were  inspired  by  its  nanie.  "When  the  great  Cortez  sent  out  his  expeditions 
to  explore  the  northwest  coast  of  America  he  was  fired  with  the  hope  of  find- 
ing another  and  richer  Mexico.  What  he  did  find  was  the  bare  and  forbid- 
ding coast  of  Lower  California.  In  derision,  or  perhaps  with  the  hope  of  reani- 
mating the  flagging  courage  of  his  men — he  gave  the  desolate  land  the  name 
of  California.  It  was  already  the  name  of  romance.  Montalvo,  in  his  fanciful 
tale  of  "Sergas  de  Esjilandian,"  published  in  1510,  tells  that  "on  the  right 
hand  of  the  Indies  there  is  an  island  called  California,  very  near  to  the  ter- 
restrial paradise,  which  was  peopled  with  black  women  without  any  men 
among  them  because  they  were  accustomed  to  live  after  the  fashion  of  Ama- 
zons. Their  arms  were  all  of  gold,  and  so  were  the  caparisons  of  the  wild 
beasts  they  rode  after  having  tamed  them,  for  in  all  the  island  there  is  no 
other  metal."  So,  in  bitter  jest  at  the  contra.st  between  his  hopes  and  reality, 
Cortez  christened  the  new  land,  and  in  due  time  California  astonished  the 
world  with  its  stores  of  gold  and  the  marvelous  fertility  of  its  soil. 

The  State  of  California  is  peculiar  in  its  physical  conditions  as  well  as 
in  its  history.  It  stretches  for  700  miles  along  the  western  coast  of  the  conti- 
nent, from  the  latitude  of  Cape  Cod  to  the  latitude  of  Charleston,  S.  C.  On 
all  that  stretch  there  are  few  good  harbors,  yet  the  central  harbor  of  San 
Francisco  is  one  of  the  largest  and  finest  in  the  world.  The  State  is  walled 
off  from  the  rest  of  the  continent  by  the  range  of  the  Sierra  Nevada  Moun- 
tains, running  parallel  to  the  coast  7,000  to  ir),000  feet  higii.  This  configura- 
tion produces  such  modifications  of  climate  that  for  the  liOd  miles  from  San 
Diego  to  Redding  there  is  a  substantial  likeness  of  climate  along  north  anil 
south  line.  Snow  and  ice  are  practically  uidviiown  outside  the  mountain  re- 
gions, rains  fall  in  Winter  and  not  in  Summ(>r,  and  friiils  of  the  temperate 
and  sub-tropical  lands  reach  a  high  development. 

The  history  of  California  is  naturally  divided  into  three  eras — the  Span- 
ish, the  Mexican  and  the  American.  The  settlement  of  Upper  California  was 
begun  under  the  Franciscan  friars  and  tiie  Spanish  Government  in  1769. 

'IMie  missions  of  California  were  establislu'd  by  the  Franciscans,  who  were 
given  exclusive  control  of  Lower  California  in  17(57,  when  the  Jesuits  were 
expelled.  Later  the  Dominicans  supplanted  the  Franciscans  in  the  peninsula, 
when  the  latter  withdrew  to  Upper  California,  where  they  built  missions  and 
prospered  until  Mexico  became  independent  of  Sjiain  in  1822.  This  change  in 
governmental  control  was  fatal  to  the  Franciscans  and  theii-  religious  in- 
stitutions, and  they  lost  ground  from  year  to  year,  until  18-10,  when  they  were

oblipretl  to  (lisliaiid  and  the  missions  were  broken  up.  These  establishments 
are  still  refranled  with  tj'"<'iit  interest  as  monuments  of  the  devotion  and  zeal 
of  their  founders  in  the  spread  of  their  religion.  Some  of  the  mission  build- 
intrs  have  fallen  into  ruin,  some  have  passed  out  of  the  possession  of  the  padres 
and  several  are  still  used  as  places  of  worship.  The  names  of  some  of  these 
missions,  with  dates  of  establishment,  are  as  follows:

San  Francisco  Solano   (Sonoma)   Aug.  2.1.  1823. 

The  Spanish  era  was  that  of  mission  government,  the  eeelesiastieal  dvci- 
shadowing  the  civil  government,  but  in  later  years  gradually  lo.sing  its  hold. 
Mexico  achieved  its  independence  in  1822  and  governed  California  as  a  :\Ie.\- 
ican  Territor.v;  the  civil  arm  was  strengthened;  the  missions  were  stripped 
of  their  authority  and  their  lands  given  to  settlers.  The  American  period 
begins  with  the  hoisting  of  the  American  Hag  at  Jlonterey  on  the  ])reaking  out 
of  the  war  with  Mexico  in  1846,  followed  by  the  discovery  of  gold  in  1848, 
the  rush  of  immigration,  the  admission  of  the  State  in  1850  and  a  rapid  dc- 
velo])nu'nt  of  material  resources.  The  Si)anish  and  Mexican  eras  were  pas- 
toral in  their  character,  the  wealth  of  the  inhaliitants  consisting  largely  in 
their  herds  of  horses  and  cattle.  Hides  and  tallow  were  the  principal  exports. 
In  the  American  era  mining  was  at  first  the  great  pursuit,  and  the  proiluct 
of  gold  rose  rai)idly  to  about  ^()fi,()00,000  a  year.  The  placers  were  then  largely 
exhaustetl,  and  the  gold  product  soon  declined  to  a  secondary  intei-est.  Tlic 
great  productiveness  of  the  soil  had  meanwhile  attracted  the  attention  of  tlic 
men  who  had  come  only  to  make  a  fortune  and  return  to  their  liomrs.  an<l 
the  agricultural  interests  grew  rapidly,  until  at  the  taking  of  tin-  census  of 
1900  the  farm  products  were  reported  at  a  total  of  $131,690,606.  The  gold 
product  in  the  same  year  was  !f;ir),730,000,  or  a  little  under  the  average  of  the 
production  of  the  past  forty  years. 

A  few  of  the  interesting  events  in  California's  hi.story  are  here  enuiinTatcd  : 

1584 — Fortuna  Ximenes  discovers  the  peninsula  of  California.

The  long  Spanish  domination  in  Southern  Califoi'uia  and  its  slow  devel- 
opment until  the  arrival  of  the  gold  hunters  to  the  north  of  the  Tehachepi, 
played  a  powerful  role  in  the  history  of  the  medical  profession  of  the  South- 
land. An  inspection  of  the  population  figures  of  Los  Angeles  may  be  taken 
somewhat  as  an  index  of  other  Southern  California  sections  and  reveals  at  a 
glance  why  the  "pioneers"  of  the  medical  profession  of  Southern  California 
are  few  and  fai-  l)ctween.-

CLIMATE    OF    SOUTHERN    CALIFORNIA. 

The  wonderful  climate  of  Southern  California  has  been  the  lodestone  that 
has  attracted  a  very  large  portion  of  the  thousands  of  persons  who  have  come 
to  this  greatly  favored  section  of  the  United  States.  In  conneetiou  with  a  dis- 
cussion of  the  history  of  the  medical  profession  of  Southern  California,  it  may 
not  be  amiss  to  present  an  account  of  the  climate  of  Southern  California  and 
some  of  its  advantages,  written  years  ago  by  a  special  committee  of  the  Los 
Angeles  County  Medical  Association,  on  request  of  the  Los  Angeles  Board  of 
Trade.-'  The  report  of  the  committee,  which  consisted  of  Doctors  J.  P.  Wid- 
ney,  II.  S.  Orme  and  George  W.  Lasher,  and  which  is  later  referred  to  in  the 
historical  sketch  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  ]\Iedical  Association  in  the  minutes 
of  the  meeting  of  November  7,  1874,  reads  as  follows: 

"The  interest  felt  in  the  climatic  features  of  this  portion  of  California  by 
people  abroad  and  the  heads  of  families  especially,  is  perhaps  paramount  to  all 
others.  By  those  who,  from  their  extended  knowledge  acquired  both  by  study 
and  practical  experience  in  travel,  are  best  tiualitied  to  judge,  the  climate  of 
Southern  California  is  pronounced  the  best  in  the  world  and  alike  beneficial 
to  those  in  health,  the  invalid  and  tliose  liable  to  become  victims  ol'  liereditary 
diseases. 

"While  the  climate  of  the  whole  State  has  many  features  in  common,  as 
the  wet  and  dry  seasons,  instead  of  the  eastern  winter  and  summer,  and  the 
incvalence,  during  the  summer  or  dry  months,  of  the  great  northwest  trade 
wiiuls,  sweeping  steadily  from  the  sea  over  the  land,  yet  there  are  many  points 
of  divergence  in  different  localities.  This  difference  in  climate  is  especially 
marked  between  Northern  and  Southern  California.  The  mountain  ranges  and 
the  valleys  of  all  the  northern  poi'tion  of  the  State  have  a  generally  north- 
westerly trend,  leaving  the  country  o(ien  to  th(>  harsh  sweep  of  the  north  winds. 
In  Southern  California,  however,  the  trend  of  both  mountains  and  valleys  is 
from  east  to  west,  and  the  high  Sierra,  like  a  wall,  shelters  the  land  from  the.se 
eohl  northerly  currents.  The  result  is  a  climate  nuich  milder  and  more  equable 
tlian  in  the  upper  portion  of  the  State.  It  might  be  supposed  that  the  country 
lying  in  the  same  latitude  as  the  Carolinas  would  have  some  oppressive  and 
deliilitating  summer  heat.  From  this  it  is  saved,  however,  by  the  tempered 
westerly  trade  wind,  wliicli  daily  blows  inward  to  the  land,  bringing  with  it  the 
coolness  of  the  sea.     There  is  a  iieculiar  stimulus  in  this  air  coming  in  from 


6  Till-:  Mi:i)i(Ai.  ri:(>ri:ssi<>.\ 

the  tluiusiiiKls  of  miles  of  salt  \v:itci-.  Our  has  to  livi'  liy  the  sea  to  uiidcrstaiiil 
it.  Till'  Ivcy  of  tile  cliinalc  lies  in  this,  that  it  lias  a  warm  sun  ami  eool  air; 
hence  the  cool  nifrhts.  One  picks  rii)cniiij?  figs  aud  bananas  f?ro\vn  in  his  own 
dooryard,  and  then  goes  to  sleep  under  a  ])lanket.  The  warm,  yet  not  debili- 
tating day.  furnishes  one  of  the  i-equisites  in  a  climate  for  invalids.  The  cool, 
restful  night,  with  its  possibility  of  refreshing  sleep,  furnishes  the  other.  The 
question  is  asked  daily  in  letters  from  the  East  what  disease  and  M'hat  class  of 
invalids  may  hope  for  benefit  in  coming  to  Southern  California.  In  reply  it 
might  be  stated  : 

"1st.  Persons  of  delicate  constitutiiiii,  I'ithcr  iiihci-ited  or  ac(Hiii'iMl,  and 
who  resist  poorly  the  extremes  either  of  heat  or  cold — persons  who  need  a 
warm,  equable,  yet  rathei-  bracing  clinuite. 

"2nil.  Persons  iulu-riting  consumption,  but  in  whom  the  disease  has  not 
yet  developed,  or  only  to  a  slight  degree,  ilany  such  persons  seem  to  throw  oil' 
the  tendency  and  remain  strong  and  well.  Even  if  parents,  coming  with  the 
disease,  do  not  in  the  end  recover,  their  children,  growing  up  in  this  climate, 
have  a  strong  chance  in  their  favor  of  eliminating  the  inherited  tendency  en- 
tirely from  their  blood  and  casting  oft'  the  family  taint. 

"'Mrd.  Persons  well  advanced  in  consumption  are  often  temporarily  heiie- 
Hted.  Such  i)ersons  should  think  well,  however,  before  leaving  the  comforts 
of  their  own  home  and  undertaking  the  fatigue  of  even  a  week  of  travel  by 
railroad.  It  should  not  be  done  unless  Tuider  the  advice  of  the  family  i)hysi- 
cian,  and  if  they  do.  come  it  should  be  accompanied  by  friends.  The  despond- 
ency of  loneliness  and  homesickness  diminishes  greatly  the  chance  of  benefit. 

"4th.  Persons  suffering  with  l)ronchial  troubles  are  often  nuirli  benelited. 
Such  cases,  however,  and  indeed  nuiny  others,  too  often  make  the  mistake  of 
remaining  for  weeks  or  months  without  seeking  the  advice  of  a  i»hysician  as  to 
the  particular  locality  suited  to  their  complaint.  The  varieties  of  climate  in 
Southern  California  are  many.  Some  portions  of  the  county  have  nightly  a 
heavy  fog:  other  jiortions  only  a  few  miles  away  have  no  fog.  Some  sections 
are  exposed  to  strong  winds;  others  are  sheltered.  Some  are  low  and  damj); 
others  high,  warm  and  dry.  Often  persons  go  awa.y  disappointed,  possibly 
worse,  who,  had  they  sought  proper  advice  as  to  the  especial  locality  .suited  to 
their  complaint,  might  have  received  much  benefit  from  their  sojourn  in  the 
country.  There  are  certain  precautions,  also,  rendered  necessary  for  invalids 
by  the  coming  on  of  the  cool  night  air  after  the  warm  day,  and  by  the  cool 
breeze  from  the  sea,  which  can  only  be  learned  by  experience,  which  to  an 
invalid  is  a  costl.y  teacher,  or  from  tlie  advice  of  a  physician  familiar  with  the 
climate  and  the  peculiarities  of  the  different  localities. 

"5th.  Those  coming  from  nuilai'ious  sections  of  the  country,  with  systems 
depressed  by  the  dregs  of  fever,  are  especially  benefited.  It  is  a  common  cus- 
tom with  the  people  here  to  go  down  to  various  pleasant  points  upon  the  sea 
coast  and  camp  out  for  weeks  upon  the  beach,  enjoying  the  surf  bathing. 
There  are  also  well  furnished  and  well  kept  hotels  at  different  localities  by  the 
sea.  This  seaside  life  is  especially  beneficial  to  the  persons  suft'cring  from  the 
various  complications  of  malarial  poisoning. 

"6tli.  The  open-air  life  which  is  here  i)ossible,  and  the  great  variety  of 
fresh  vegetal)le  foods  to  be  had  at  all  seasons,  help  to  l)reak  up  the  dyspeptic 
troubles  which  make  life  a  burden  to  so  many  overworked  men. 

"7th.  ^lany  persons  suft'cring  from  asthma  have  derived  much  benefit 
from  the  clinuite.  The  capricious  character  of  the  malady — no  two  persons 
suited  to  the  same  surroundings — make  it  difficult  to  give  advice  in  most  coun- 
tries to  the  sufferer,  because  of  the  limited  range  of  elevation  and  climatic  dif- 
ferences from  which  to  choose.     Here,  however,  within  a  circle  of  a   hundred 


IN  SOUrilKh'X  CALIFOUMA.  7 

:iii(]  fifty  miles  one  may  find  spots  below  the  sea  level,  at  the  sea  level,  or  with 
■du  elevation  of  10,000  feet  above  it;  spots  with  nightly  a  heavy  fog,  and  spots 
that  never  know  the  presence  of  a  fog;  places  swept  by  an  almost  constant 
breeze,  and  others  sheltered  from  all  wind;  the  odors  and  gases  of  asphaltum 
and  jietroleum  springs,  or  the  air  of  the  mountain  pineries;  the  scent  of  the 
(iraiige  blossom,  or  the  l)alsamic  odor  of  the  i)lants  of  the  desert.  Differences 
(if  rli'vation,  which  elsewhere  one  travels  a  thousand  miles  to  find,  here  he  finds 
\vitiiin  a  radius  of  fifty  miles. 

■■8th.  Some  cases  of  ehrouie  rheumatism  are  benefited  by  the  climate. 
Certain  hot  mineral  springs  and  iron  sulphur  springs  have  gained  quite  a  repu- 
tation in  such  affections.  The  climate  of  the  coast  line,  however,  has  rather  too 
nuieli  fog.  Such  cases  do  better  in  the  portion  of  the  country  back  from  the 
sea  and  among  the  mountains.  There  are  points  along  the  line  of  the  Southern 
Pacific  Railroad,  as  it  crosses  the  Colorado  Desert,  where  the  hot,  dry  air,  both 
night  and  day,  and  the  warm  springs  for  bathing,  offer  the  very  best  climatic 
requisite  for  the  relief  of  such  affections. 

■'9th.  Chronic  kidney  and  bladder  troubles  find  in  the  mild  climate,  with 
its  |)ossibility  of  constant  outdoor  life  and  the  equable  winter  and  summer  tem- 
l)erature,  the  surroundings  best  suited  to  at  least  stay  the  course  of  the  disease. 

■'10th.  Cases  of  nervous  prostration,  and  all  the  innumerable  train  of 
tormenting  ills  that  come  to  an  overtaxed  or  deranged  nervous  system,  may 
liope  for  relief  by  a  residence  in  some  one  of  the  many  pleasant  spots  that  dot 
the  land.  The  warm,  clear  day  tempts  to  the  outdoor  life,  and  the  cool  night 
gives  the  refreshing  sleep  so  needed  in  this  class  of  maladies.  Strangers  speak 
almost  invariably  of  the  restful  slumber  of  the  night. 

'■In  conclusion,  there  are  a  number  of  facts  which  have  an  important  bear- 
ing upon  the  subject  of  Southern  California  as  a  health  resort,  and  yet  are  not 
in  themselves  directly  questions  of  disease.  Among  these  may  be  mentioned 
exemption  from  the  epidemics  of  yellow  fever,  which  visit  the  Gulf  States;  ease 
of  access,  the  country  being  tapped  in  all  directions  by  branches  of  the  South- 
ern Pacific  Railroad.  It  is  an  agrictdtural  and  business  center,  with  business 
openings  for  a  largely  increased  population.  It  is  the  ediicational  center  of  a 
large  scope  of  territory,  with  its  institutions  of  learning  solidly  established. 
It  is  well  supplied  with  churches,  and  off'ers  all  the  advantages  of  the  best 
society.  Food  is  abundant,  varied  and  cheap,  so  that  the  expense  of  living  is 
not  great.  And  finally,  it  is  not  across  the  ocean  or  upon  some  foreign  shore, 
where  the  invalid  is  an  alien  or  a  stranger,  but  Avitliin  our  own  land,  under  our 
own  rtag,  and  among  our  own  people."

GuiLLERMO  B.  Osbourn. 
"Dr.  Guillermo  B.  Osbourn,  one  of  the  signers,  who  was  a  native  of  \ew 
York,  came  to  California  in  1847  in  Col.  Stevenson's  regiment.  He  established 
the  first  drug  store  in  Los  Angeles  in  1850,  which  was  succeeded  in  '51  by  that 
of  .McFarland  and  Downey.  Daguerreotypes  were  first  taken  in  Los  Angeles 
by  Dr.  Osbourn  and  ;\Ioses  Searles,  on  Aug.  9,  1851.  In  fact.  Dr.  Osbourn "s 
versatility  was  something  remarkable.  It  is  not  easy  to  recount  all  the  ol'(ic-ial 
positions  he  filled,  or  the  numerous  important  public  functions  he  pterformed. 
In  those  early  days  immediately  after  the  change  of  government,  by  means  of 
his  rare  intellectual  ability,  together  with  his  knowledge  of  the  Spanish  lan- 
guage, he  made  hiiiisclf  a  very  useful  citizen  in  various  capacities.     When,  as 


IX  sorruEux  califouxia.  9 

often  happened  in  that  period,  an  aequaintanee  with  Spanisli  was  a  necessity, 
he  often  acted  as  Deputy  Sheriff.  In  1853  he  was  appointed  Postmaster  of  this 
city  by  President  Buchanan.  In  1855  he  projected  the  first  artesian  well  in 
Southern  California,  at  the  foot  of  the  hills  not  very  far  from  the  present  junc- 
tion of  First  street  and  Broadway.  It  reached  a  depth  of  about  800  feet  in 
June,  1856,  being  still  in  blue  clay,  when  it  was  abandoned  for  want  of  funds. 

"In  1852  fruit  grafts  of  improved  varieties  had  been  introduced  by  ilayor 
J.  G.  Nichols.  In  1855  Dr.  Osbourn  imjiorted  from  Rochester,  a  grand  collec- 
tion of  roses  and  other  choice  shrubbery  as  well  as  many  varieties  of  the  best 
American  fruit  trees,  which  \\\>  to  that  time  were  almost  unknown  here.  He 
was  the  first,  too,  in  October,  1854,  to  ship  East,  fresh  Los  Angeles  grapes, 
which  were  exhibited  and  commanded  admiration  at  a  meeting  of  the  business 
committee  of  the  New  York  Agricultural  Society  at  Albany.  And  it  is  worthy 
of  mention  in  this  connection,  that  as  late  as  November,  1856,  when  JIatthew 
Keller  sent  a  like  specimen,  it  was  almost  doubted  at  the  U.  S.  Patent  Office, 
'if  such  products  were  common  in  California.' 

""Henry  Osbourn,  a  son  of  the  doctor  by  his  first  wife,  was  for  years  and 
until  recently,  an  interjireter  in  our  local  courts.  He  lost  his  life  through  an 
at'<-itlent  not  very  long  ago. 

"Dr.  Osbourn 's  second  wife,  who  was  a  native  Californian,  is.  1  l)elieve, 
still  living  in  this  city. 

■'Dr.  Osbourn  with  all  his  versatility,  was  not  always  overscrujjulous  as  to 
the  means  he  sometimes  employed  in  carrying  out  his  schemes.  He  once  re- 
counted to  me,  without  even  a  semblance  of  self-reproach,  but  on  the  contrai-y 
with  a  palpable  chuckle  because  of  his  success,  how  he  took  an  active  part  on  a 
cei'tain  occasion  in  a  political  contest.  Sometime  in  the  early  '50 's,  when  an 
election  was  on  for  a  State  Senator,  and  San  Bernardino  was  a  jiart  of  Los 
Angeles  county,  he  was  exceedingly  anxious  to  carry  the  precinct  of  Agua 
Mansa,  which  was  mostly  settled  by  Mexicans,  who  knew  very  little  or  no  Eng- 
lish. So  he  went  to  the  Padre  Avho  had  more  influence  in  his  parish  than  any 
other  person,  and  used  his  most  suave  methods  of  electioneering  with  the  Dom- 
inie in  behalf  of  his  candidate;  and  then  to  clinch  the  matter,  he  asked  the 
Padre  to  pray  for  the  repose  of  the  soul  of  his  mother — who  was  then  alive  anil 
well  in  New  York  State.  And  on  the  next  feast  day  the  wily  doctor  was  on 
hand  at  the  church  and  on  his  knees,  joining  the  Padre  and  his  flock,  in  pray-

"'Drs.  Blackburn  and  Dodge,  two  other  signers  of  the  accompanying  docu-

"'Dr.  Charles  R.  Cullen  1  knew  intimately,  as  he  was  my  room-mate  for  a 
considerable  portion  of  the  time,  from  my  arrival  in  Los  Angeles  in  1854,  till 
lie  left  for  his  home  in  Virginia  in  the  latter  part  of  '56. 

"Dr.  Cullen  was  a  native  of  Virginia  and  a  graduate  of  Brown  I'niversity. 
He  and  his  brother  John  came  to  California  soon  after  the  iliscovery  of  the 
mines.  The  doctor  was  a  cultivated  and  genial  gentlenum  whom  all  who  made 
his  actpiaintance,  could  not  help  liking.  The  Spanish-speaking  portion  of  our 
comnuuiity  of  that  period  were  especially  attached  to  him,  botli  as  a  sympa- 
thetic friend  and  as  a  physician;  and  for  years  after  he  went  away,  1  remendjer 
that  if  his  name  was  mentioned  in  the  presence  of  those  native  Californians 
who  had  made  his  acquaintance,  they  would  invariably  manifest  pleasure  at  the 
recall  of  his  memory  and  would  exclaim:  "Ay  Don  Carlos!  donde  esta  el.''  or. 
"(Jue  buen  honibre  era!'  or  similar  expressions  of  kindly  feelings  towarils  him. 

"When  the  San  Francisco  HitUctin  was  established,  Mr.  C.  0.  Gerberding, 
(father  of  several  persons  of  that  name  in  California,  and  also,  I  believe,  of

was  the  brave  and  accomplished  editor.  Mr.  Gerberding  and  Di'.  Ciillen  had 
been  old  friends  in  Richmond,  before  they  came  to  California;  and  as  llie  man- 
agement of  the  paper  desired  to  have  a  permanent  resident  corresitondent  at 
Los  Angeles,  they  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Dr.  Cullen  1o  (ill  Ihat  posi- 
tion, paying  him  at  the  rate  of  ten  dollars  a  column.  Late  in  Xovember.  "5(). 
Dr.  Cnllen  concluded  to  return  East,  and  stopping  on  liis  way  at  San  Fran- 
cisco, it  appears  he  reconnnended  me.  without  m.v  knowledge,  as  his  snccesscn- 
as  correspondent  of  the  /.'»//(//;(.■  and  accordingly  he  wrote  me  at  llicir  i-ci|iicst, 
asking  me  to  keep  up  llie  rorrcspiiiidence,  on  the  same  terms,  etc.  wliidi  I  did 
for  several  years  thereafter,  writing  generally  by  each  semi-mouthly  steamer, 
giving  a  general  resume  of  current  events  in  Southern  California.  The  doc- 
tor's letters,  as  were  mine,  were  headed  in  the  columns  of  the  Bulletin — in  small 
capitals:  ''Letter  from  Lou  Angeles'' — "From  Our  Own  Correspondent ."  and 
were  signed  ''Obscrvador."  This  signatui'e,  however,  T  soon  dropped.  iMy  first 
letter  Wiis  dated  Dec.  6,  1856.  T  would  like  to  add  that  in  all  my  dealings  with 
Mr.  Gerberding,  the  business  manager,  I  found  him  to  be  a  thorough  gentleman 
and  a  good  friend. 

"Before  I  had  any  connection  with  the  paix'i-.  the  assassination  of  .lames 
King  of  William  had  given  the  paper  much  ])rominence,  and  it  had  ali-eady 
become  and  it  long  remained  the  leading  .iournal  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  fl  was 
very  ably  edited  ostensibly  by  a  brother  of  .James  King  of  William,  but  in 
reality  by  Mr.  .James  Xisbet.  a  Scotchman,  one  of  the  most  industrious  and  the 
finest  literary  journalists  whom  1  evi'r  had  any  ac(|uaintaiice  with.  Aftei'wards. 
Dr.  Tuthill  was  associated  with  ^Ir.  Xisbet  and  tlie.\'  made  a  very  sii'ong  e<li- 
torial  team. 

"In  18.57  I  made  a  trip  p]ast,  and  1  went  to  Richmond  to  visit  Dr.  ('nllen. 
1  found  his  mother  and  sisters  and  also  his  uncle,  the  widely  known  and  \en- 
erable  Dr.  Patrick  Cnllen,  by  whom  I  was  very  cordially  welcomed.  Dr.  Char- 
Icy  ('ullen  was  then  located  and  pi-acticing  his  ]irofessiou  near  ILinovcr  Court 
House,  a  very  few  years  aflerwai'ds  the  locality  of  some  terrific  fighting  in  the 
great  Civil  War. 

"In  after  years  1  kept  up  a  more  or  less  intermittent  correspondence  with 
the  doctor,  till  his  death  several  years  ago. 

"  l)v.  Cullen  was  a  thoroughly  conscientious  man  and  a  religious  man  — 
co-operaliug  with  Parson  Bland.  Rev.  Jlr.  Brier  and  Woods  as  they  came  and 
maile  lirief  stays — in  all  siiicei-ity.  in  which  he  differed  widely  from  Dr.  Os- 
bourn.  whose  only  church  affiliation,  so  far  as  I  knew,  was  Unit  serio-comic  epi- 
sode at  'Agua  Mansa. ' 

"When  the  late  Dr.  .J.  C.  Fletcher  first  came  to  Ijos  Angeles,  Dr.  Cnllen 
wrote  me  asking  me  to  hunt  him  np,  which  I  did.  and  I  found  him  to  be  a  very 
cultivated  and  widel.y-traveled  gentleman.  lie  told  me  that  he  had  resided  for 
a  lengthy  period  at  Rio  de  .Janein).  iirazil.  where  he  had  made  the  ix'ismnd  ar- 
quaintance  of  Don  Pedro,  the  venerable  Emperor  of  lira/.il.  ami  also  that  he 
had  lived  at  .Vaples,  Italy.  18  years. 

"Dr.  Cullen  and  Dr.  Fletcher  were  classmates  and  gi-adnates  of  Brown 
University. ' '

Dr.  ^Marsh  was  a  native  of  Massaeliuseetts,  and  a  graduate  of  Harvard  Col- 
lege, and  also  of  its  medical  school.  He  came  to  Los  Angeles  by  way  of  Santa 
Vq.  In  the  Archives  of  this  city,  Translations,  Vol.  2,  p.  113,  (session  of  the 
Ayuntamieuto  or  Town  Council,  of  ISth  February,  1836)  the  following  record 
is  found : 

"...  A  petition  from  foreigner.  Don  Juan  Marchet  (.John  .Marsh: 
the  sound  of  sh  at  the  ending  of  a  word  is  unknown  to  the  Spanish  tongue;) 
a  native  of  United  States  of  the  North,  was  read.  He  asks  that  this  illustrious 
(honorable)  Ayuntamiento  consider  him  as  having  appeared,  he  declaring  his 
intention  of  establishing  (locating)  in  this  city,  and  also  that  he  is  a  physician 
and  surgeon.  The  111.  Ayuntamiento  decided,  in  conformity  with  the  law  of 
April  14,  1828,  Art.  3,  as  follows:  Record  and  forward  the  certified  copy, 
solicited,  reminding  said  :\Iarchet  (^Mai-sh)  that  he  cannot  practice  surgery 
until  he  has  obtained  permission  from  the  Ayuntamiento."  .  .  .  (ilinutes 
of  this  meeting  were  signed  :)  "Manuel  Requena.  Pres. ;  Tiburcio  Tapia,  Rafael 
(iuirado.  Sasilio  Valdez,  Jose  ^la.  Ilerrera.  Abel  Stearns.  Nareisco  Hotello." 
(Each  with  his  proper  Rubric  attached.) 

At  page  117  of  Archives  (session  of  25th  February,  1836,)  this  minute 
occurs:  .  .  .  "A  petition  from  Jlr.  Juan  Marchet  (Jlarsh)  asking  to  be 
permitted  to  practice  his  profession,  was  read.  The  111.  Body  decided  to  give 
him  permission  to  practice  medicine,  as  he  has  submitted  for  inspection  his 
diploma,  which  was  found  to  be  correct,  and  also  for  the  reason  that  he  would 
lie  very  useful  to  the  community." 

His  diploma  being  in  Latin,  it  is  said  that,  as  no  one  could  be  found  in 
Los  Angeles  who  understood  that  language,  the  document  had  to  be  sent  to  San 
Gabriel  for  the  ^Mission  priest  to  translate,  and  which,  as  noted,  was  found 
correct. 

He  entered  upon  the  ])ractice  of  his  jirofession,  but  as  money  was  an  almost 
unknown  quantity  in  the  old  i)ueblo,  he  had  to  take  his  fees  in  horses,  cattle 
and  hides,  a  currency  exceedingly  inconvenient  to  carry  around.  So  early  in 
1S37  he  abandoned  the  practice  of  medicine,  quitted  Los  Angeles  and  went  up 
noi'th  to  find  a  cattle  range.  Yerba  Buena,  now  San  Francisco,  at  the  time  the 
letter  was  written,  contained  two  houses.  He  located  on  the  Raiiciio  Los  Me- 
(lanos,  near  ]\Ionte  Diablo.  Avhere  he  lived  until  he  was  murdered  by  a  ^Texican 
in  18r)6.  A  letter  written  by  him  descrijitive  of  California,  and  published  in 
a  Missouri  paper  in  1840,  was  insti'unu-ntal  in  causing  the  organization  in  the 
s|)ring  of  1841  of  the  first  immigrant  train  that  crossed  the  plains  to  California.

Dr.  R.  S.  Den  was  born  in  Ireland  in  1S21.  After  receiving  ;i  thoi-ough 
education  as  a  i)hysieian.  sui-gcon  and  obstetrician,  he  was  appointed  surgeon 
of  a  passenger  shi]i  bound  for  Australia  in  1842.  Froni  thence  he  came  via 
\'alparaiso  to  Jlazatlan,  where  he  received  with  delight  news  from  his  brother, 
Nicolas,  from  whom  he  had  not  heard  for  some  years,  and  who  was  then  living 
at  Santa  Barbara.  Resigning  his  position  as  surgeon,  he  came  to  California, 
ari-iving  at  San  Pedro  August  21,  and  at  Santa  Barl)ara  September  1,  1S4;S,  at 
the  age  of  22  years. 

In  the  winter  of  184.'i-4,  Dr.  Den  was  called  to  Los  Angeles  to  jierform  some 
difficult  sui'gical  operations,  when  he  received  a  petition,  signed  by  leading  citi- 
zens, both  native  and  foreign,  asking  him  to  remain  and  practice  his  profession. 
And  so,  in  July,  1844,  he  returned  to  Los  Angeles.  From  that  time  on,  till 
his  death  in  1895,  he  made  his  home  here,  with  the  exception  of  a  brief  period 
in  the  mines,  and  about  twelve  j'ears,  from  1854  to  18C6,  in  which  he  had  to  look 
after  the  interests  of  his  stock  rancho  of  San  ^Marcos,  in  Santa  Barbara  county. 

A  much  fullei'  account  of  Dr.  Den  and  his  long  and  honorable  career  in 
Southern  Califoi-nia  during  the  pioneei-  times,  may  be  found  in  the  "'Illustrated 
History  of  Los  Angeles  County,"  published  in  1889,  ]ip.  197-200,  which  also 
contains  a  steel  engraving  and  good  likeness  of  Dr.  Den. 

In  the  iledieal  Directory  of  1878  the  following  paragraph  appears:  "It 
is  of  record  that  Dr.  R.  S.  Den,  in  obedience  to  the  laws  of  Mexico  relating  to 
foreigners,  did  i)resent  his  diplomas  as  physician  and  surgeon  to  the  govern- 
ment of  the  country,  ]\Iarch  14,  1844,  and  that  he  received  special  license  to 
l)ractice  from  said  government."  The  document  here  referred  to,  Dr.  Den,  in 
the  latter  years  of  his  life,  showed  to  me.  It  was  signed  by  Gov.  ilicheltorena; 
and,  as  it  was  an  interesting  historical  document,  I  asked  that  he  present  it  to 
the  Historical  Society,  which  he  promised  to  do.  At  his  death,  I  took  consid- 
erable pains  to  have  the  paper  hunted  up,  but  without  success.  His  heirs  (the 
children  of  his  brother  Nicolas)  apparently  had  but  little  idea  of  the  historical 
value  of  such  a  document,  and  therefore  it  probably  has  been  lost.

Dr.  Jolin  S.  Griffin,  wlio  for  nearly  lialf  a  crntiiry  was  fin  pmincnt  eitizrn, 
and  an  eminent  i)liysieian  and  snrjreou  of  Los  Anfreles.  was  a  native  of  Virginia, 
liorn  in  LSKi,  and  a  fj:raduate  of  tlie  niedieal  department  of  tiie  University  of 
I'ennsylvania.  After  pi'aetiein';  his  [irofession  sonn'  tlii'ee  years  in  Louisville, 
lie  entered  the  I'nited  States  army  as  assistant  surgeon,  serving  under  (ien. 
^V()rth  in  Florida  and  on  the  southwest  frontier.  As  I  presented  the  Historical 
Soeiet.v  a  condensed  sketch  of  Dr.  Griffin's  life  on  the  occasion  of  his  death, 
three  years  ago  (published  in  the  society's  Annual  of  1898,  pp.  183-"),)  T  would 
here  refer  nicnii)ers  to  that  sketch  ;  and  for  further  details,  to  the  account  that 
1  wrote,  taken  down  mainly  from  his  own  lips,  for  the  Illustrated  History  of 
this  county  of  1889,  i)p.  206-7.  which  latter  is  accompanied  by  an  excellent 
stipple  steel  jjortrait  of  Dr.  Griffin.  There  are  many  citizens  of  Los  Angeles 
and.  in  fact,  of  California,  still  living  who  knew  Dr.  Griffin  well  and  esteemed 
him  highly.    His  death  occurred  in  this  city,  August  23,  1898. 

Of  other  physicians  and  surgeon.s  who  practiced  their  profession  in  Los 
Angeles  in  early  times,  there  were  Doctors  A.  P.  Hodges,  the  first  ]\Ia.vor  of  the 
city  (July  3,  1850,  to  :May  15,  1851 ;)  and  X.  W.  Hope,  who  was  the  "first  State 
Senator  (1850-51,)  of  the  First  Senatorial  District  (San  Diego  and  Los  An- 
geles;) and  Doctors  McFarlane,  Downey  (afterwards  Governor  of  the  State;) 
Thos.  Foster,  T.  J.  "White.  R.  T.  Hayes,  Winston,  Cullen,  etc.;  and  during  the 
liftii-s  and  sixties  and  later,  many  others  too  numerous  to  mention,  within  the 
limits  and  scope  of  this  brief  paper. 

.Mr.  liarrow's  friend,  ilr.  ]Moulton,  who  came  to  Los  Angeles  in  1845,  in- 
formed him  that  he  knew  two  other  doctors,  who  practiced  here  for  a  short 
time  between  '-15  and  '49;  one  of  them  a  Frenchman,  who  went  to  San  Diego 
with  Dr.  Griffin  to  assist  him  in  treating  the  wounded  soldiers,  and  who.  Dr. 
Griffin  said,  was  a  first-class  surgeon;  and  an  Aiuericau  named  Keefe.  The 
Frenchman's  name  has  been  forgotten. 


From  "California  Pamiihlef s,"  on  page  42  of  the  Centennial  History,  we 
excer|it  the  following  item,  which  is  of  interest  in  connection  with  the  above: 

For  physicians,  1850  has  Wm.  B.  Osborne,  A.  P.  Hodges,  "W.  W.  Jones, 
A.  AV.  Hope  and  Overstreet;  in  1851,  John  BrinekerhoiT,  Thomas  Foster  and 
James  P.  ^McFarland;  in  1852,  .Janu's  P.  Winston,  and  others.  Dr.  John  S. 
Griffin  returned  to  reside  here  in  August,  1854.  Dr.  Richard  S.  Den  was  a 
|)hysician  esteemed  highly,  prior  to  1843.  Dr.  O.sborne  was  a  native  of  New 
Yoi'k,  came  to  California  in  1847,  in  Col.  Stevenson's  regiment.  He  put  uji 
the  first  drug  store  in  1850.  which  was  followed  by  that  of  McFarland  and 
Downey  in  1851.  Our  fii-st  daguerreotypes  were  taken  by  him  and  Moses 
Searles,  August  9th,  1851.  He  often  acted  as  Deputy  Sheritt'— impossible  to 
recount  his  vai'ious  functions;  a  most  useful  man  anywhere — friendly  among 
his  neighbors,  of  intelligence  and  public  spirit.  He  was  the  projector  of  the 
famed  artesian  well  near  the  hills  on  the  west  side  of  the  city.  Jt  reached  the 
depth  of  780  feet  June  7th,  185(),  but  was  abandoned  by  the  company  for  want 
of  funds.  In  1852,  fruit  grafts  had  been  introduced  from  New  York  by  J. 
G.  Nichols.  In  1855  Dr.  O.  imi)orted  fi'om  J{ochester  a  grand  collection  of 
roses  and  other  choice  shrubbery,  as  well  as  fruit  trees.  He  was  the  first,  too, 
in  October,  1854,  to  shij)  fresh  Los  Angeles  grapes,  which  were  exhibited  with 
admiration  at  a  meeting  of  the  l)usiness  conunittee  of  the  New  York  Agricul- 
tural Soeii'ty  at  Albany.  As  late  as  November  17th.  185(5,  when  Mattln'W 
Keller  sent  a  like  specimen,  it  was  almost  doubted  at  the  U.  S.  Patent  Office — 
"if  such  i)roducts  are  common  in  California."  Tiie  third  drug  store  was  that 
of  A.  W.  Hope,  September,  1854;  the  fourth  of  Dr.  Henry  R.  .Myles.  in  18(iO;

AN    ECCENTRIC    CHARACTER    OF    EARLY    LOS    ANGELES. 

On  iiage  2~i'-\  of  the  publieations  of  the  llistoi'ieal  Societj'  of  California  is 
an  aeeount  of  some  eeeeutrie  eliaraeters  of  early  Los  Angeles,  one  of  MJioni, 
named  William  Jloney,  among  numerous  other  aecomplisiiments,  was  also  a 
"doetor"  and  an  author  of  a  medical  work  as  well.  Particular  attention  is 
called  to  his  statement  pid)lislied  in  a  newspaper  of  Los  Angeles  in  1855  that 
his  book.  "■The  California  FamiUi  Mrdical  I iistnicfor."  contained  a  list  of  five 
thousand  ])atients  who  had  I)een  under  iiis  care,  of  whom  only  four  to  his  knowl- 
edge died  while  under  his  treatment — a  statement  sufficiently  susiticious  to 
nud^e  one  think  iiim  related  to  souu'  of  the  originators  of  modern-day  isms. 
Tlie  sketch  to  wliich  we  refer  gives  tiie  following  account  of  liis  very  interesting 
career : 

The  early  years  in  the  history  of  tlu'  new  towns  of  the  West  were  ])ro- 
duetive  of  eceenti-ie  characters — men  who  drifted  in  from  older  civilizations  and 
made  a  name  for  themselves  or  rather,  as  it  frequently  happened,  had  a  name 
made  for  them  by  their  fellow  men. 

Tliese  local  celebrities  gained  notorii'ty  in  their  new  homes  by  their  oddi- 
ties, by  theii'  fads,  their  crankiness,  or  some  other  characteristic  that  made  them 
the  subject  of  renuirk.  With  some  the  eccentricity  was  natural ;  with  others  it 
was  cultivated,  and  yet  again  with  others  force  of  circumstances  or  some  event 
not  of  their  own  choosing  made  them  cranks  ny  (ulditie^.  and  gave  Ihem  nick- 
names that  stuck  to  them  closer  than  a  brotiiei'. 

No  country  in  the  world  was  more  pi'oductive  of  quaint  characters  and 
odd  geniuses  than  the  mining  camps  of  early  California.  A  man's  history  be- 
gan with  his  advent  in  the  camp.  His  past  was  wiped  out — was  ancient  history, 
not  worth  nmking  a  note  of.  What  is  he  now?  What  is  he  good  for?  were 
the  vital  ([uestions.  Even  his  name  was  sometimes  wiped  out,  and  he  was  re- 
ehristened — given  some  cognomen  entirely  foreign  to  his  well-known  charac- 
teristics. It  was  the  Irony  of  Fate  that  stood  sponsor  at  his  baptism.  "Pions 
Pete"  was  the  most  profane  man  in  the  camp,  and  Pete  was  not  his  front  name. 
His  i)rofanity  was  so  profuse,  so  imi)i'essive,  that  it  seemed  an  invocation, 
almost  a  prayer. 

There  was  another  class  of  eccentricities  in  the  cities  and  towns  of  Cali- 
fornia where  life  was  less  strenuous  than  in  the  mining  camps.  These  were 
men  with  whims  or  fads  sometimes  sensible,  sometimes  half-insane,  to  which 
they  devoted  themselves  until  they  became  noted  as  notorious  cranks. 

San  Francisco  had  its  Philosoi)her  Pickett,  its  Emperor  Norton  and  a  host 
of  others  of  like  ilk.  Los  Angeles  had  representatives  of  this  class  in  its  early 
days,  but  unfortunately  the  memory  of  i)ut  few  of  them  has  been  salted  down 
in  the  brine  of  history. 

In  delving  recently  among  the  i-ubbisli  of  the  [last  for  scraps  of  history, 
I  came  acro.ss  a  review  of  the  tii'st  l)ook  i)rinted  in  Los  Angeles — tlie  name  of 
the  book,  its  author  and  its  publisher.  But  for  that  review,  these  would  have 
been  lost  to  fame. 

It  is  not  probable  that  a  copy  of  the  book  exists,  and  possibly  no  reader 
of  that  book  is  alive  today — not  that  the  book  was  fatal  to  its  readers;  it  had 
very  few — but  the  readers  were  fatal  to  the  book;  they  did  not  preserve  it. 
That  l)Ook  was  the  product  of  an  eccentric  ciiaracter.  Some  of  you  knew  him. 
His  nanu'  was  William  iloney,  but  he  preferred  to  have  the  accent  placed  on 
the  last  syllable,  and  was  known  as  ".Money."  Bancroft  says  of  him: 
"Scotcliman.  thi'  date  and  manner  of  whose  coming  are  not  known,  was  at  Los

In  the  wintci'  of  1841-42  he  made  rei)airs  on  the  Plaza  Chureh  to  the  amount  of 
$12(1. 00.  liancroft,  in  his  Pioneer  Register,  states:  "He  is  said  to  have  come 
as  the  s<Tvaiit  of  a  seii-ntitie  man,  wliose  methods  and  idras  lie  ailopteil.  Ilis 
wife  was  a  liandsome  Souorena.  In  '46  the  eouple  started  for  Sonora  witii 
Coronel,  and  were  captured  by  Kearney's  foree.  They  returned  from  the  Colo- 
rado with  the  Mormon  hattalion.  ]\Ioney  beeanu>  an  eccentric  doctor,  artist  and 
philosopher  at  San  Gal)riel,  where  his  house,  in  1880,  was  filled  with  ponderous 
tomes  of  his  writings,  and  on  the  simple  condition  of  buying  $1000  worth  of 
these  I  was  oflered  his  pioneer  reminiscences.  lie  died  a  few  years  latei'.  His 
wife,  long  divorced  from  him,  nuirried  a  Frenchman.  She  was  also  living  at 
Los  Angeles  in  '80.    It  was  hei'  daughter  who  killed  Chico  Forster. " 

Hancroft  fails  to  enumerate  all  of  Jloney's  titles.  He,  was  variously  called 
Pi'ofcssor  iloney.  Dr.  Money  and  Bishop  Money.  He  was  a  self-constituted 
doctor,  and  a  self-anointed  bishop.  He  aspired  to  found  a  great  religious  sect. 
He  made  his  own  creed  and  ordained  himself  Bishop,  Deacon  and  Defender  of 
the  I\(>formcd  New  Testament  Church  of  the  Faith  of  Jesus  Christ.  Dr.  Money 
liad  the  inherent  love  of  a  Scotchman  for  theological  discussion.  He  was  always 
)-eady  to  attack  a  religious  dogma  or  assail  a  creed.  When  not  discussing  theo- 
logical tiuestions  or  practicing  medicines,  he  dabbled  in  science  and  made  dis- 
coveries. 

In  Book  II  of  Miscel.  Records  of  L.  A.  Countj',  recorded  Se])t.  18,  1872,  is  a 
map  or  picture  of  a  globe  labeled  "Wm.  Money's  Discovery  of  the  Ocean. 
Around  the  North  Pole  are  a  number  of  convolving  lines  which  purport  to  rep- 
resent a  "whirling  ocean."  Passing  down  from  the  north  pole  to  the  south, 
like  the  vei'tebrae  of  a  great  fish,  is  a  subterranean  ocean.  Beyond  this  on  each 
side  are  the  exhaustless  fiery  regions,  and  outside  of  this  a  rocky  mountain 
chain  that  evidently  keeps  the  earth  from  bursting.  At  the  South  Pole  gush 
out  two  currents  a  mile  wide  marked  Kuro  Siwo.  There  is  no  explanation  of 
the  discovery  and  no  statement  of  which  ocean,  the  whirling  or  the  subterran- 
ean, that  Dr.  ]\Ioncy  claimed  to  have  discovered.  The  record  was  nuide,  no 
doubt,  on  the  principle  of  protecting  his  discovery  by  a  sort  of  patent  right  on 
the  ocean  he  found  swirling  around  in  the  interior  of  the  earth.  The  theory  of 
his  discovery  can  only  be  infei-rcd  from  the  drawing.  Evidently  a  hole  at  the 
North  Pole  sucks  in  the  waters  of  the  whirling  ocean,  which  jiass  down  through 
the  subteri-anean  ocean  and  are  heated  by  the  exhaustless  fiery  regions  which 
border  that  ocean;  then  tiiese  heated  waters  are  s[»urted  out  into  sjtace  at  the 
South  Pole.  What  becomes  of  them  afterwards  the  records  do  not  show.  From 
some  cause  Dr.  Money  disliked  the  people  of  San  Francisco.  In  his  scientific 
researches  he  made  the  discovery  that  that  part  of  the  earth's  crust  on  which 
that  city  stands  was  almost  burnt  through,  and  he  prophesied  that  the  crust 
would  soon  break  and  the  City  of  the  Bay  would  droi)  down  into  the  exhaust- 
less fiery  regions  and  be  wi])ed  out  like  Sodom  and  Gomorrah  of  old! 

The  review  of  Dr.  Moui'v's  book,  which  I  have  mentioned,  was  written  by 
the  genial  Col.  John  O.  Wheeler.  Ihen  editor  of  the  SotillKni  Califoniiaii.  a 
pa]>er  that  died  and  was  buried  in  the  journalistic  gi-aveyard  of  unfelt  wants, 
forty-eight  years  ago.  Col.  Wheeler  was  a  walking  library  of  local  history. 
He  could  tell  a  stoi-y  well  aiul  bad  a  fund  of  humoi'ous  ones,  but  1  could  never 
pei'suade  him  to  write  out  his  reminiscences  for  publication.  He  died,  and  his 
stories  of  the  olden  times  died  with  him,  .iust  as  so  uumy  of  the  old  jiioneers 
will  do,  di(>  and  leave  no  recoi-d  behind  them. 

Dr.  ^loney's  book  was  written  ami  iniblisiied  in  1S.")4.  Colonel  Wheeler's 
review  is  (juite  lenglhy,  tilling  iieai'ly  two  eulumtis  dl'  the  Califoniiaii.  1  omit

oring so  nuifli  iuiniircd  by  the  "Woman  in  Scarlet  who  sits  iijion  seven  hills,  and

the  general  ol)jects  of  the  work  wliieh  have  been  followed  out  in  the  peculiar

General.  r|>i>er  California.  City  of  \a)s  Angeles,  we  jironounce  it  a  woi'k  woi-thy 
of  all  dignified  adniiratioii,  a  reform  wJiich  ecclesiastics  and  civil  autlioi-ities 
have  not  been  able  to  conijily  with  yet." 

The  work  opens  with  an  original  letter  from  the  aforesaid  Council  General, 
which  met  August  the  7th,  18r)4,  near  the  main  zan.ja  in  this  city;  .said  letter 
was  indited,  signed,  sealed  "by  supplication  of  tiu'  small  Hock  of  Jesus  Christ" 
represented  by  Wamon  Tirado,  president,  and  Francis  Contreras,  secretary,  and 
directed  with  many  tears  to  the  gi'eat  defender  of  the  new  faith,  who,  amid  tiic 
quiet  retreats  with  which  tlie  rural  districts  abouiul.  had  pensively  dwelt  on 
the  noble  objects  of  his  mission,  and.  in  fastings  ;uul  prayer,  concocted,  tiiis 
great  work  of  his  life. 

"The  venerable  prelate,  in  an  elaborate  prefix  to  his  work,  informs  tlie 
jiublic  that  he  was  born,  to  the  best  of  his  recollection,  about  the  year  1807, 
from  which  tinu'  up  to  the  anniversai-y  of  his  seventh  year,  his  mother  brought 
him  up  by  hand.  Tie  says,  by  a  singular  circumstance  (the  particular  circum- 
stance is  not  mentioned)  1  was  born  with  four  teeth,  and  witii  the  likeness  of 
a  rainbow  in  my  right  eye." 

It  would  seem  that  his  early  youtii  was  marked  liy  more  than  ordinary  ca- 
l^aeity,  as  we  find  him  at  seven  entering  upon  tlu;  study  of  natural  history; 
how  far  he  proceeded,  or  if  he  ijroceeded  at  all.  is  left  for  his  readers  to  deter- 
mine. At  the  age  of  twelve,  jxjverty  com])elled  him  to  "bind  himself  to  a  paper 
factory."  Next  year,  being  tiu^n  thirteen  years  of  age,  having  made  a  raise,  he 
commenced  the  studies  of  i)iiiloso]ihy.  civil  law,  medicine,  relation  of  cause  and 
effect,  philosoiihy  of  sound  in  a  conch  shell,  peculiar  habits  of  the  muskrat, 
and  the  component  parts  of  Swain's  vermifuge.  Thirsting  for  still  furtiier 
knowledge,  four  years  afterwards  M'e  find  him  entering  upon  the  study  of  the- 
ology; and  he  says,  "In  this  year  (1829)  I  commenced  my  travels  in  foreign 
countries,"  and  tlie  succeeding  year  found  him  upon  the  shores  of  the  United 
States,  indefatigalile  in  body  and  mind;  the  closing  of  the  same  year  found  him 
in  ilexico,  still  following  the  sciences  above  mentioned,  but  theology  in  par- 
ticular. 

About  this  time  he  commenced  those  powerful  discussions  with  the  Komisii 
clergy  in  which  our  author  launched  forth  against  the  Old  Church  those  terrible 
denunciations  as  effective  as  the.y  were  unanswerable,  and  which  for  thirt.v 
years  he  has  been  hurling  against  her. 

Periiajis  the  most  memorable  of  all  his  efforts  was  the  occasion  of  the  last 
arguments  had  with  the  Roman  clergy  concerning  abuses  which  came  off  in  the 
Council  of  Pitaquitos,  a  small  town  in  Sonora,  commencing  on  the  20th  of  Oc- 
tober, 18:15,  and  which  continued  to  ilay  1st,  1840,  a  period  of  five  years.  This 
convocation  had  consumed  much  time  in  its  i)reparation,  and  the  clergy,  aware 
of  the  powerful  foe  with  whom  they  had  to  deal,  and  proliable  great  length  of 
time  wliicii  would  elapse,  selected  their  most  mighty  champions;  men  who  in 
addition  to  a  glib  tongue  and  subtle  imagination,  were  celebrateil  for  tlieir 
wonderful  powers  of  endurance.  There  were  seven  skilled  disputants  arrayed 
against  Money,  but  he  vanquished  them  single-handed. 

"The  discussion  opened  on  the  following  i)ropositions :  The  Bisiio])  of 
Culiacan  and  he  of  Durango  disputed  that  Wm.  Money  believed  that  the  Virgin 
IMary  was  the  mother  of  Jesus,  lint  not  the  mother  of  Christ.  William  iloney 
makes  liis  application  to  God,  but  not  to  the  Virgin  Jlary. " 

These  and  other  learned  propositions  were  discussed  and  re-diseussed  con- 
stantly for  five  years,  during  which  writing  paper  arose  to  such  an  enormous

price  that  special  enactincuts  were  made,  withdrawing  the  duties  thereon.  Timi! 
would  not  admit  of  detailing  the  shadow  of  what  transpired  during  the  session. 

Suffice  it  to  .say  that  through  tlie  indomitable  faith  and  energy  of  Mr. 
JMoney,  his  seven  opponents  were  entirely  overcome ;  one  sickened  early  in  the 
second  year  and  was  constrained  to  take  a  voyage  by  sea;  two  others  died  of 
hemorrhage  of  the  lungs;  one  went  crazy;  two  Ix'came  converted  and  left  the 
eouui-il  in  the  year  18S8  and  were  found  b.v  ^\v.  ]Money  on  the  breaking  up  of 
the  iDinnil  to  have  entered  into  connubial  bonds,  and  were  in  the  en.joyment 
(if  i)crfrrt  happiness.  The  other  two  strenuously  held  out  to  the  year  1840, 
wlien,  exhausted,  sick  and  dismayed,  the  council,  in  the  language  of  the  author, 
was  broken  up  by  offering  me  money  to  give  up  my  sword,  the  "Word  of  God, 
but  I  protested,  saying,  "God  keep  me  from  such  treacherous  men,  and  from 
Ix'coining  a  traitor  to  my  God." 

Thus  ended  this  famous  disputation  of  which  history  furnishes  no  parallel. 
From  the  foregoing  our  readers  can  form  an  idea  of  this  great  work.  It  fonas 
a  volume  of  twenty-two  pages,  printed  in  English  and  Spanish,  with  notes,  etc. ; 
]irice  not  yet  determined.  We  would  advise  all  to  procure  a  copy,  as  there 
lieing  no  .stereotype  edition,  the  present  few  numbers  will  end  the  supply. 

This  strenuous  review  brought  forth  a  vigorous  protest  from  Dr.  ]\Ioney, 
and  in  the  Star,  over  his  many  titles — Bishop.  Deacon  and  Defender  of  the 
Faith — he  challenged  the  editor  to  a  discussion,  but,  warned  by  the  fate  of  the 
friars  at  Pitac|uitos,  the  genial  colonel  declined  the  combat. 

Dr.  Jlouey  seems  to  have  considered  his  call  to  preach  par;nui)uiit  to  his 
call  to  practice.  In  a  card  to  the  public,  published  in  the  ^tar  of  Xovember  3, 
1855.  he  says:  "I  am  sorry  to  inform  the  public  that  since  the  Reformed  New 
Testament  Church  has  unanimously  conferred  on  me  the  office  of  Bishop,  Deacon 
and  Defender  of  the  Faith  of  said  apo.stolic  church,  it  is  at  present  incon- 
venient for  me  any  longer  to  practice  my  physical  system.  Jly  Calif  or  nia  Fam- 
ily Medical  Instructor  is  now  ready  for  the  press,  containing  my  three  physical 
systems,  in  about  200  pages  and  50  plates  of  the  human  bod.v.  It  will  likewise 
contain  a  list  of  about  five  tlumsand  patients  that  I  have  had  under  my  jihysical 
treatment  in  the  course  of  fifteen  years'  practice,  from  the  port  of  San  Diego  to 
that  of  San  Francisco.  Out  of  this  large  number  only  four,  to  my  knowledge, 
have  died  while  under  my  treatment.  I  do  not  publish  this  for  the  purpose  of 
getting  into  practice,  but  only  to  get  out  of  it." 

His  Family  I\ledical  Instructor  was  probably  the  second  book  written  in 
Los  Angeles,  but  whether  it  was  ever  published  I  cannot  say.  Some  twenty -five 
years  ago,  when  the  Public  Library  wa.s  in  the  old  Downey  Block,  he  had  on 
file  in  it  a  set  of  plates  of  the  lunnan  body.  They  long  since  have  disai)[)eared. 
lie  removed  to  San  Gabriel,  where  he  lived  in  a  curiously  constructed  adobe 
house.    He  died  in  1800,  at  San  Gabi-iel.     His  liooks  and  papers  were  lost.

CHAPTER  III. 
HEALTH  DEPARTMENT  OF  LOS  ANGELES. 

Of  iiitorost  as  sliowiiifi-  I  he  wondcrl'ul  lulviiiicfiiiciil  in  iiii'lliods,  due  to  the 
almost  iiiarvclons  increase  in  i)o]inlatii)n  and  material  development  of  the  last 
several  decades  in  Southern  Califoi-nia,  should  be  a  resume  of  the  growth  of 
the  Health  Department  of  the  city  of  Los  Angeles.  From  an  admirable  his- 
torical sketch  in  the  annual  report  of  Dr.  L.  M.  Powers  for  1904,  we  have 
gathered  the  following  fads: 

The  fir.st   record   we   find    rel'eri-ing   to   llie  sanitation   of  the   City   of   TjOs 
Angeles  is  as  follows: 
To  the  Honorable  Toirn  Ciiiiiicil<. 

It  being  one  of  the  princil)^d  duties  of  any  iiuinicipal  body  when  it  sees 
that  an  epidemic  begins  to  attack  the  comnuinity.  to  enforce  cleanline.ss,  fumi- 
gation and  similar  measures,  I  respectfully  suggest  that  you  instruct  the 
Syndic  to  spend  three  or  four  dollars  in  causing  all  the  heads  and  remains  of 
cattle  as  well  as  the  dead  animals  that  can  be  found,  to  be  gathered  into  a 
heap  in  tlie  borders  of  the  town  and  set  on  fire  at  the  hour  of  six  in  the  (>vcning. 
to  be  tlioroughly  consumed  and  the  air  pui'ified.  Also  that  you  admonish  the 
peojjle  to  keep  their  premises  clean  and  sweep  in  front  of  their  houses  and  on 
no  condition  to  throw  any  garbage,  filth  or  olt'al  of  the  cattle  they  slaughter  in 
the  streets.  Also  that  the  work  on  the  zanja  be  pushed  to  an  early  completion, 
because  our  citizens  who  live  further  below  are  suffering  greatly  for  lack  of 
water,  which  is  also  one  of  the  causes  why  the  epidemic  lasts  so  long.  In 
making  these  recommendations,  I  beg  of  you  to  give  them  your  immediate 
consideration.

Los  Angeles,  ilarch  29,  1847.  The  foregoing  proposition  having  been 
submitted  to  the  Honorable  Town  Council,  at  its  meeting  held  today,  it  was 
resolved  that  the  Syndic  be  authorized  and  instructed  to  make  the  expenditure 
as  suggested  for  the  purpose  of  cleaning  liie  city.

Ygnacia  Coronel,  Secretary. 

Again  wr  Knd  in  city  records  for  .lul.v  27.  IS.jO.  a  resolution  of  the  Com- 
mon Council  declaring  it  the  duty  of  the  police  to  attend  to  everything  touch- 
ing the  comfort,  health  and  adornment  of  the  City.  On  August  8,  1850.  under 
police  regulations  we  find  the  following : 

Article  6.  On  Saturdays  every  householder  shall  clean  the  front  of  his 
premises  up  to  the  middle  of  the  street,  or  for  the  space  of  at  least  eight  varas. 

Article  7.  No  filth  shall  be  thrown  into  zan.jas.  carrying  water  for  com- 
mon use,  nor  into  the  streets  of  the  City. 

On  April  2,  1853,  the  City  Council  passed  an  ordinance  concerning  the 
making  of  bread,  rec[uiring  the  use  of  good  and  wholesome  fiour,  and  uniform 
size  of  the  loaves,  etc. 

On  February  28,  1855,  the  Common  Comieil  passed  an  ordinance  regulat- 
ing the  conduction  of  a  city  slaughter  house  or  corral  and  requiring  a  monthly 
fee  or  rental  for  the  u.se  of  the  same  and  the  disposal  of  the  oflfal  in  such  a 
manner  as  not  to  be  offensive.  Also  created  the  office  of  stock  and  meat  in- 
spector, who  was  to  give  a  bond  of  $500.00  and  to  receive  fees  for  inspecting

In  1868.  when  the  county  hospital  was  only  in  name  and  the  Sisters  of 
('liarity  were  paid  per  capita  for  the  care  of  the  indigent  sick,  and  the  police 
force  ciinsisled  of  the  Town  ^larslial  and  one  policeman,  and  the  hoard  of 
hcaltli.  thr  .Mayor  iind  two  coiuii'ilnK'ii.  ajjixjiiited  liy  the  president  of  the  Coun- 
cil, an  epidemic  of  smallpox  occurred  and  Dr.  11.  S.  Orme  was  appointed  health 
officer  at  a  salary  of  jfilO.OO  per  day.  to  care  for  smallpox  patients  and  look 
after  the  sanitary  conditions  of  the  City. 

In  July.  1868,  the  main  building  now  existing  in  Chavez  Ravine  and 
known  as  the  pest  hou.se.  was  built  jointly  by  the  City  and  County,  for  a  small- 
p(i.\  hospital.  Smalli)ox  was  ([uite  prevalent,  many  cases  occurred  among  the 
Indians  who  were  cmi>loyed  to  pick  grapes  in  the  city  and  vicinity.  These 
Indians  when  first  iittacked  with  the  fever  would  often  plunge  into  the  zan.ia 
oi-  river,  and  then  lie  around  the  banks  until  they  were  picked  up  in  a  critical 
condition  or  perhaps  dead.  The  mortality  during  this  epidemic  was  great. 
The  Sisters  of  Charity  with  self-sacrifice  and  regardless  of  their  health,  ren- 
dered most  faithful  and  efficient  service  during  this  epidemic.  Vaccination 
was  enforced  as  thoroughly  as  possible  and  the  disease  was  ere  long  eradicated. 

In  1869  Dr.  Orme  resigned.     Here  is  the  following  resolution; 
flavor's  Office.  Citv  of  Los  Angeles,  June  30,  1869. 
/)/■.  //.  N.  Ormr': 

Sir: — I  am  instructed  by  the  Board  of  Health  of  the  City  of  Los  Angeles 
to  return  to  you  from  the  Board  of  Health,  their  warmest  thanks  for  the 
efficient  manner  in  which  you  discharged  your  duties  as  Health  Officer  and 
attending  Physician  at  the  City  Smallpox  Hospital. 

Respectfully.     W.  6.  Dryden,  Secretary. 

It  seems  from  1869  that  Drs.  Pigne.  Dupuytren.  T.  C.  Gale,  and  J.  H. 
;\lcKee.  served  as  health  officei-s  at  different  times.  Dr.  J.  H.  JIcKee  was 
elected  Plealth  Officer  on  June  25,  October  15.  and  again  December  31.  1874. 

On  April  11.  1873,  the  City  Council  passed  an  ordinance  creating  the 
Board  of  llealth  to  consist  of  the  ^layor.  President  of  the  Council  and  two 
members  of  the  Council  to  be  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  Coiuicil.  The 
salary  of  the  Health  Officer  was  $50.00  per  month,  and  he  was  to  be  appointed 
by  tile  Board  of  Plealth.  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  City  Council. 

On  August  9.  1874.  the  City  Council  passed  an  extensive  sanitary  ordin- 
ance providing  for  free  vacciimtion.  reports  of  births,  deaths  and  contagious 
diseases,  etc..  and  another  resolution  regulating  the  prevention  of  nuisances 
and  providing  for  the  public  health,  etc..  including  a  section  prohibiting  the 
sale  of  adulterated  milk. 

On  June  22.  1876,  the  Council  passed  a  resohitiou  fixing  the  Health  Of- 
ficer's salary  at  $75.00  per  month.  March  1,  1877,  the  Council  passed  an  ordi- 
nance repealing  ordinances  of  July  11.  1873.  and  August  1.  1874.  pertaining 
to  the  creation  of  tlu'  Board  of  Health  and  iirescribing  the  dutii's  of  the  Health 
C^fficer.  etc. 

In  1877.  a  report  was  made  to  tiic  Coiuicil  that  one  Jlrs.  Domiuguez  had 
broken  ([uarantine  because  of  the  want  of  food.  The  Council  authorized  the 
Health  Officer  to  supply  food  to  families  in  {|uarantine  for  smallpox. 

Again  in  1878,  the  Common  Council  passed  a  resolution  relating  to  the 
health  of  the  City  of  Los  Angeles,  to  prevent  the  spread  of  contagious  dis- 
ea.ses  by  providing  quarantine  regulations  for  the  incoming  trains,  etc. 

On  January  2,  1879,  Dr.  AValter  Lindley  was  elected  Health  Officer:  at 
that  time  there  was  no  Board  of  Health  and  the  City  Council  elected  the  Health 
oniccr.  Dr.  Lindley  inaugurated  the  system  of  free  vaccination  of  children 
attending  the  public  schools  and  succeeded  in  securing  the  passage  of  an  ordi-

animal  report  of  the  transactions  of  tlie  office.  Dr.  Lindley's  report  made  No-

mated popuhition  to  be  16,0(1(1.  numbiT  of  births  223,  and  number  of  deaths  175, 
including  still  liirths. 

Dr.  J.  H.  Winston  served  as  llr.-illli  Oflicci'  in  1880-81-82.  and  made  aiinu:il 
l'(>|i()rts  of  traiisai-t  ions  of  the  uflirc  willi  taliidalccl  re])orts  of  deallis  and  hirllis, 
etc. 

In  1883  and  1884.  Dr.  T.  C.  (!alc  was  ilcallli  Ofliccr  and  made  annual 
ri'ports  of  the  work  performed  in  the  ot'lice  and  tabulated  reports  of  deaths 
and  births,  etc. 

In  188.")  and  1886,  Dr.  J.  S.  Daker  served  as  Health  Officer  making  several 
ri'porls  of  smallpox  and  diplitheria  outbreaks,  also  an  annual  report  for  the 
year  ending  November,  1886,  in  which  he  I'ecommends  the  building  of  a  filth 
crematory.  The  number  of  deaths  during  this  year  was  i'A.  and  the  number 
of  births.  438.  Of  the  454  deaths,  120  were  caused  by  consumption.  12  died 
from  typhoid  fever,  15  of  scarl(>t  fever,  7  of  diphtheria  and  14  of  pneumonia. 
The  rei)ort  shows  the  amount  of  sanitary  work  performed  during  the  year,  and 
accom[)anying  the  report  is  a  tabulated  report  of  deaths. 

ill  1887  the  City  Board  of  lleallh  consisted  of  the  .Mayor,  AV.  II.  Work- 
man; President  of  the  Council.  L.  N.  I>reed,  and  J.  Lovell,  J.  Frankenfield  and 
IVl.  T.  Collins,  members  of  the  ('onneil.  Dr.  i\Iartin  Hagan  was  elected  Health 
Officer;  Dr.  George  L.  Cole  was  Assistant  Health  Officer  and  Acting  Tolice 
Surgeon.  When  the  city  was  on  a  boom,  rajiidly  increasing  in  population  anil 
extending  in  territory,  an  ei)idcmic  of  smallpox  set  it.  The  Health  Offii-er 
reports  that  vaccination  was  vigorously  enforced,  and  ;is  many  as  30. ()()()  people 
were  vaccinated  within  a  period  of  four  weeks. 

In  1888,  the  Board  of  ll.alUi  consisted  of  the  Mayor,  W.  H.  Workman; 
President  (if  the  Council.  .1.  F.  Humphrey,  and  James  Hanley,  M.  T.  Collins 
and  E.  A.  (iilibs.  members  of  the  Council.  Dr.  -I.  \Y.  Reese  was  elected  Health 
Officer,  Dr.  .1.  .1.  Choate,  Dr.  Fenner  and  Dr.  Thompson  were  the  assistants. 
During  this  year  the  ei)idemic  of  smallpox  was  stamped  out.  The  Health  Officer 
made  an  annual  report  of  work  performed  and  recommended  the  apiiointment 
of  at  least  three  additional  sanitary  iiisiiectors.  a  mark(>t  inspector  and  a  plnmb- 
iug  and  drain  inspector. 

In  18S9  the  new  I'liarter  went  into  effect.  Drs.  :\Iartiii  Ilagan.  -1.  II. 
Davi.sson  and  -Ins.  Kurtz,  and  Mr.  II.  l<].  Wright  were  elected  members  of  the 
Board  of  Health,  and  Dr.  Granville  jMacGowan  was  elected  Health  Officer. 
During  this  term  they  obtained  an  office  in  the  City  Hall,  with  the  necessary 
furniture,  etc.  They  established  the  system  of  monthly  reports,  adopted  sani- 
tary rules,  and  obtained  the  i)assage  of  a  number  of  sanitary  ordinances; 
established  the  system  of  placarding  houses  for  diphtheria,  scarlet  fever  and 
smallpox,  and  also  took  measures  toward  the  betterment  of  our  water  supply 
by  forcing  the  water  com|)anies  to  use  covered  mains  between  the  sources  of 
.supply  and  the  city. 

In  1889,  this  Board  took  much  interest  in  securing  park  facilities.  Dr. 
MacGowan  succeeded  in  seeiu'ing  the  passage  of  a  plumbing  ordinance,  which 
was  to  be  enforced  by  the  Building  Superintendent. 

In  1890  the  Health  Officer  in  addition  to  attending  to  the  duties  of  Health 
Office,  actetl  as  Police  Surgeon;  at  this  time  all  cases  of  accident  were  taken 
to  the  Police  Station  and  were  cared  for  in  the  large  open  room  in  which  the 
prisoners  had  their  bunks.  Dr.  MacGowan  succeeded  in  getting  an  appropria- 
tion of  $600. 00,  with  which  \w  changed  the  old  battery  room  into  an  operating

rodiii,  liy  having  a  cement  Hoor  put  in,  a  largos  skylight  made  and  the  walls 
tinted.  lie  also  had  an  operating  tahle  and  other  neeessary  apparatus  put  in. 
This  room,  though  small,  made  a  very  comfortable  room  for  this -purpose.  Dr. 
E,  A.  Bryant  assisted  Dr.  MacGowan  in  his  duties  as  Police  Surgeon. 

After  a  great  deal  of  trouble,  and  against  great  opposition,  the  Hoard  of 
Health  succeeded  in  estaiilishing  a  regular  .system  of  collection  of  garbage, 
under  the  contract,  and  a  crematory  for  the  burning  of  the  garbage  was  built. 

In  1891,  Dr.  MacGowan  succeeded  in  having  two  new  cottages  built  and 
the  old  pest  house  building  repaired,  so  that  it  was  storm  proof  and  fairly  com- 
fortable. The  Health  Officer  was  instrnmcntal  in  causing  the  construction  of 
an  outfall  sewer,  etc.,  to  be  built. 

In  September,  1892,  Dr.  MacGowan  prepared  an  ordinance  including  the 
provisions  of  all  ordinances  which  was  twice  recommended  bv  the  Board  of 
Health. 

Tn  .lanuai-y.  lsf):j.  l)i'.  Granville  ilacGowan  and  Dr.  W.  W.  Hitchcock.  Dr. 
Jos.  Kurtz  iuid  Dr.  C  F.  Gillingham  were  elected  nu'mbers  of  the  Board  of 
Health.  Dr.  L.  M.  Powers  was  elected  Health  Officer  for  the  ensuing  two 
years.  The  inspection  of  public  buildings,  including  schools,  was  systematically 
conducted  and  reports  made  of  the  same.  The  office  of  meat  inspector  was 
created  and  the  system  of  meat. inspection  installed.  During  this  term,  a  new 
plumliiiig  ordinance  creating  a  Board  of  Examiners  was  passed  and  a  plumbing 
inspectoi-  to  act  as  assistant  building  inspector  was  appointed.  This  ordinance 
was  revoked  in  November,  1893. 

The  inspection  of  the  water  and  ice  supply  to  the  City  which  had  been 
ei  inducted  by  Dr.  Granville  MacGowan  was  continued. 

The  Board  of  Health  adopted  for  the  fir.st  time,  written  rules  governing 
the  Importing  of  contagious  and  infectious  diseases,  regulating  the  quarantine 
of  the  same,  etc.  Also  secured  the  passage  of  an  ordinance  requiring  the  regis- 
tration of  physicians,  dentists  and  pharmacists,  midwives  and  medicine  vendors. 

A  new  plmnbing  ordinance  was  passed  by  the  City  Council.  The  old 
oi-dinances  regulating  the  sanitary  conditions  of  the  city  being  imperfect  and 
iiuidequate,  a  new  ordinance,  No.  2888,  was  passed  by  the  City  Council,  includ- 
ing a  new  milk  ordinance.  During  the  fall  a  room  in  the  attic  of  the  City 
Hall,  a  part  of  the  room  used  by  the  library  girls  for  their  lunch  apartment, 
was  secured  for  the  purpose  of  a  laboratory  for  the  examination  of  milk. 
Dairy  inspections  and  milk  analy.ses  were  made  by  the  Health  Officer. 

In  January,  1895,  the  first  cas(!  which  received  the  antitoxin  treatment  for 
dii)htheria  was  Thomas  Hanlon,  of  147  Hays  Street,  a  patient  of  Dr.  'Si.  'SI. 
Cannon.  The  antitoxin,  which  was  secured  from  the  Pasteur  Institute  in  New 
\i>vk  City,  was  administered  by  Dr.  L.  M.  Powers. 

In  Jaiuiai'y.  1895,  Drs.  S.  S.  Salisl)ury,  E.  R,  Smith  and  Carl  Kurtz,  and 
M.  L.  .Moore,  were  elected  menil)ers  of  the  Board  of  llealtii  and  Dr.  F.  W. 
Steddoni  was  elected  Health  Officer. 

Dining  this  year  the  meat  inspector  was  made  also  milk  inspector.  In  the 
aiiiiiial  report  the  Health  Officer  says:  "There  were  152  cases  of  diphtheria 
reported  to  the  office,  twenly-eight  of  which  proved  fatal,  showing  the  percent- 
age of  deaths  to  be  18.42;  undt'r  the  limited  u.se  of  antitoxin,  the  death  rate 
lias  lieen  reduced  fnmi  25.03  per  cent,  last  year,  to  18.42  per  cent,  this  year. 
Kriough  antilo.xin  has  been  used  to  prove  conclusively  that  it  has  saved  the 
lives  of  many  cil'  our  children."  .\ccording  to  the  reiiorts  obtained,  antitoxin 
was  used  in  ahoiit  .111  per  cent,  of  the  cases  reported. 

In  the  report  of  dairy  inspection,  we  see  that  there  were  five  cows  con- 
demned and  killed  because  of  tuberculosis.  The  Health  Department  secured 
the  passage  of  an  anti-expectorating  ordinance.

22  THE  MEDICAL  I'h'OF ESSlOX 

In  1897.  Dr.  .1.  K.  Cowlcs.  Dr.  .lohii   K.  (' 

S.  S.  Salisbury  were  t'lrdcMl   iiicmiiIici-s  nf  the   i;( 
wa.s  I'lwted  Health  Officer. 

The  iiis])eetioii  of  milk  and  meat  wa.s  etintiiiueil  uiKlei'  diflieiilties.  The 
first  eight  months  mueh  of  the  time  was  consumed  in  settling  the  question  as 
to  who  had  the  right  to  the  appointment  of  the  sanitary  inspeetors.  the  Board 
of  Health.  oT-  tlie  City  Council.  For  three  months  pending  the  decision  of  the 
Court,  we  had  two  sets  of  inspeetors  calling  at  the  office  every  morning,  and 
there  was  also  much  trouble  in  securing  the  proper  control  of  the  street  sweep- 
ing. During  the  fall  a  new  inspector  was  a])pointe<l  for  street  sweep- 
ing. The  meat  and  milk  insjtector  having  i-esigned.  one  of  the  sanitary  in- 
spectors was  appointed  milk  in.spector  and  a  practical  Initcher  was  appninted 
meat  inspector,  thereby  creating  two  offices. 

In   the  fall  of  181)7.   I'rof.   A.   .1.    .Maclatcliic.   wliu  was  cuniicclcd   with   the 

Academy   of  Sciences,   gave   the   drp.-ul  uhniI    iiiucli    ci ui'ag<iiiriit    and    aid    in 

insj)ecting  milk. 

In  1898.  with  an  aiii)r(i|)riation  fi'om  the  Council  of  .^^.'lO.dO  and  apparatus 
owned  by  Dr.  i'owers.  a  bacteriological  laboratoiw  was  established  in  the  attic 
of  the  City  Hall  building,  and  l)y  Februaiw  with  the  kind  assistance  of  Dr.  S. 
P.  Black,  the  department  was  fully  prejjarcd  to  nudvc  diphtheria  cultures  and 
from  that  time  on,  serum  tests  for  typhoid  fever  and  examinations  of  sputum 
and  various  other  exandnations  for  diseases  in  stock  were  made,  and  also 
bacteriological  examinations  of  water  supplied  to  the  city  were  made  from  time 
to  time. 

In  the  latter  part  of  this  year  an  epidemic  of  smallpox  was  started  in  the 
city  by  a  number  of  tramps  or  other  persons  infected  in  some  of  the  railroad 
camps,  and  with  the  concealment  of  a  case  of  smallpox  in  the  family  of  a 
grocer.  Tents  and  new  cottages  were  constructed  on  the  pest-house  grouiuls  in 
order  to  aceonmiodate  the  patients.  The  number  of  cases  occurring  during  this 
epidemic  and  which  lasted  into  1899,  were  121,  of  which  22  died.  The  most 
severe  form  of  smallpox  existed,  being  of  hemorrhagic  nature. 

In  1899,  Drs.  J.  H.  Davisson.  E.  R.  Smith.  Wm.  Le^Moync  Wills  and  S.  S. 
Salisbury,  were  elected  members  of  the  Board  of  Health.  Dr.  L.  ^1.  Powers 
was  elected  Health  Officer.  During  the  spring  the  epidemic  was  stamped  out. 
Dr.  R.  V.  Day  and  Dr.  W.  IT.  Fox  assisted  in  this  work,  in  llloo.  Imt  three 
cases  of  smallpox  were  reported  during  the  yc;ir. 

In  1901  Dr.  E.  R.  Smith,  Dr.  J.  H.  Davi.sson.  Dr.  W.  W.  Beckett  and  Dr. 
S.  S.  Salisbury  were  elected  members  of  the  Board  of  Health ;  Dr.  L.  JM.  Powers 
was  elected  Health  Officer.  During  this  year  a  number  of  cases  of  mild  small- 
pox were  reported.    Dr.  S.  J.  Quint  was  appointed  Assistant  Health  Officer. 

In  many  cases  the  milk  was  found  to  contain  formaline  and  other  preser- 
vatives, and  the  Department  prosecuted  many  violators  of  the  milk  ordin;ince. 
Through  the  aid  of  tlu'  Court  during  the  year  1901-1902,  the  nefarious  prac- 
tice of  adulteration  and  substitution  for  milk  was  more  or  less  stopped. 

In  1901  when  the  plague  was  creating  much  excitement  in  San  Francisco, 
the  Health  Department  of  Los  Angeles  Cit.v,  to  protect  the  City  from  an  in- 
vasion of  the  dread  disease,  made  thorough  inspections  of  Chinatown  for  sick 
Chinamen  or  suspected  cases  of  plague,  and  autopsies  were  made  on  all  dead 
Chinese,  Dr.  S.  P.  Black  being  employed  to  make  bacteriological  examinations 
in  all  cases.  This  kept  up  during  the  year  1901,  and  at  various  times  after 
that  bv  the  Department  and  Dr.  S.  P.  Black  and  Dr.  E.  L.  Leonard. 

In  1903.  Dr.  W.  W.  Hitchcock,  Dr.  S.  S.  Salisbury,  Dr.  .Milbank  Johnson

vclopiiicut  of  the  eount.v  and  State  medical  societies  took  place.  In  California, 
tlie  Medical  Society  of  the  State  of  California  in  the  last  few  years  has  grown 
I'roiu  an  organization  of  about  300  to  2,000  members,  with  every  indication  of

i'rior  to  the  reorganization  of  the  American  ^Medical  Association,  tlie  Med- 
ical Society  of  the  State  of  California  was  largely  a  northern  society.

the  regular  physicians  of  Southern  California  to  ascertain  their  wishes  in  re- 
gai'd  to  the  organization  of  a  District  Jledical  Society."

.\ngeles  (excejiting  such  physicians  living  in  the  citj'  of  Los  Angeles),  San 
i'.ernardino,  San  Diego,  San  Luis  Obispo,  Santa  Barbara  and  Ventura.

Ihc  i-cc(ii-(ls  (if  such  a  society,  in  being  transferred  .\eai-  by  year,  from  one  set  of 
(it1irri-s  to  another,  are  scattered  or  lost.  Some  of  th(^  pai)ers  of  the  Los  Angeles 
('iiuiity   .Medical  A.ssociation  have  disappeared  in  this  fashion. 

A  hrief  sketch  written  hy  the  Secretary  of  the  Society  in  ISOl.  Dr.  11.

The  Los  Angeles  Count\-  .Medical  Association  was  organized  .lanuar\'  'M, 
IcSTl. 

A  i)rcliminai\v  meeting  had  been  held  at  the  oflice  of  Dr.  11.  S.  Orme  on 
January  25.  at  which  six  physicians  were  present,  and  at  which  time  Doctors 
Ornic  and  Hayes  were  appointed  a  committee  to  draft  a  constitution  and  by-laws. 

On  January  31,  at  the  office  of  Drs.  (jriffin  &  Widney,  this  committee  re- 
ported. Seven  physicians  were  present  and  organized  them.selves,  ado])ted  a 
constitution  and  liy-laws  and  adjourned  to  meet  at  the  same  place  on  February 
7.  The  seven  charter  members  who  signed  the  cou.stitution  on  the  evening  (tf 
February  7,  1871,  were  John  S.  Griflin,  llenrv  S.  Oimuc,  Joseph  1'.  Widuev, 
William  F.  Edgar,  R.  T.  Hayes,  L.  L.  Door  and  T.  II.  Rose. 

On  January  4,  1876,  the  Society  discussed  and  endorsed  the  bill  Lor  the 
Regulation  of  the  Practice  of  Medicine.  It  was  this  bill  which  became  a  law 
Ajiril  3,  1876.  and  which  w-as  amended  April  1,  1878. 

February  1,  1876,  the  Society  appointed  a  committee  to  draw  up  a  coui- 
nuuiication  to  the  City  Council  "showing  the  sanitary^  condition  of  the  city  and 
urging  the  importance  of  the  establishment  of  a  Board  of  Health  and  a])point- 
ment  of  Health  Officer,"  and  on  June  6  of  the  same  year  the  City  Coun<-il 
requested  the  Society  to  select  a  .suitable  and  competent  physician  for  the  posi- 
tion of  Health  OiMcer,  whereupon  the  Society  elcted  Dr.  J.  IT.  McKee. 

In  ]\Iarch,  1878,  Dr.  Joseph  Kurtz  reported  a  case  which  is  certainly 
worthy  of  being  placed  upon  record.  He  had  shoi-tly  before  delivei'cd  a  woman 
of  a  child  weighing  a  little  over  eighteen  pounds. 

Along  in  the  spring  of  1878,  there  evidently  was  a  lack  of  interest  in  the 
Society,  and  the  following  resolution  was  entered  upon  the  minutes:  "Re 
solved,  that  any  member  of  this  Society  absenting  himself  for  three  successive 
meetings  be  dropped  from  the  list  of  uicmbers.  nidess  i-ea.sonable  excu.se  be 
offered  and  accepted,  by  the  AssociatiDU. "  The  resolution  was,  however,  in- 
definitely postponed. 

On  July  3,  1878,  the  Society  was  ineorixirated  according  to  the  laws  of  this 
State,  under  the  name  of  "Los  Angeles  County  Medical  Association,"  and  on 
July  5  the  Society  adopted  the  motto  "Scientia  ct  honos"  for  its  .seal. 

In  the  minutes  of  the  same  date  appears  the  following:  "By  the  unani- 
mous vote  of  the  Association,  was  placed  on  the  blacklist.     Thus 

prohibiting  any  member  from  consulting  with  him  on  pain  of  expulsion." 

The  following  throws  some  light  on  the  origin  of  the  Southern  California 
]\IedieaI  Society.  In  August,  1884.  the  following  connuunication  was  read  to 
the  Association:     "We,  the  undersigned,  move  that  a  connnittee  of  three  be  ap- 


IS  s()rTiii:i;s  caufohma.  w.i 

|)(iiiit(il  hy  this  Association  to  arrange  for  the  organization  of  a  medical  society 
to  he  known  as  tlic  Southern  California  Jledical  Society,  etc.,  etc. 

"F.  A.  Seymour, 
"H.  H.  ]Maynard." 

At  the  Deceml)er,  1885,  meeting  The  Soulhern  California  Practitionrr  was

Dr.  Kurtz."  (Prom  which  one  would  infer  that  Dr.  Kurtz  had  answered  his 
own  question.) 

On  March  4,  1881,  the  minutes  state  that 

"The  Committee  on  Irregular  Practitioners  reported  that  a  complaint  had

So,  also,  was  Los  Angeles  at  that  time  sensitive  to  its  cixic  reputation,  for 
at  the  nu-eting  of  October  l-t,  1889,  it  is  said  that  ""Dr.  Turpin  called  attention 
to  a  eonnnent  in  the  Journal  of  the  American  Medical  Association  about  the 
sewerage  of  Los  Angeles,  the  comment  being  unfavorable.  A  committee  of 
Drs.  Turpin,  Davisson  and  Wise  were  appointed  to  report,  coiduting  the  com- 
ment. ' ' 

And  attached  to  the  minutes  of  the  next  nu'eting  is  a  uews|)aper  clipping 
as  follows : 

A   CLEAN   BH.L  OF   HEALTH. 
KEFfTATION  OF   CHARGES  ADVANCED  DURING  THE   LATE   C.\.M1'AK;N. 

"The  committee  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  Jledical  Association,  ai)pointed 
recently  to  investigate  the  criticism  of  our  sanitary  condition  published  in  the 
Journal  of  the  American  Medical  Association  of  September  '28th,  has  re|)orted 
as  follows.  The  committee  consists  of  Jlessrs.  L.  J.  Turpin,  'SI.  L.  .Muoic  and 
J.  n.  Davisson: 

■'  'During  the  recent  sewer-bond  contest,  which,  from  the  very  nature  of 
the  case,  resolved  itself  into  two  systems  for  the  ultimate  disposal  of  the  sew- 
age, viz:  "outfall  to  the  sea"  and  "sewer  irrigation,"  the  heated  news|ia])er 
contest  led  certain  local  papers,  in  their  zeal,  to  carry  their  sj'stem,  then  Itcforc 
the  people,  to  exaggerate  our  sanitary  conditions,  and  thus  placed  the  city  of 
Los  Angeles  at  a  disadvantage  before  the  country  at  large.  Our  eastern  rivals 
have  seen  fit  to  reproduce  these  misleading  articles  to  our  detriment.  By  ref- 
erence to  the  official  records  of  the  Health  Departuunit,  we  find  a  death  rate  for 
1888  of  8.5  per  1000,  and  for  the  current  year  of  8.89  per  1000.  hi  these 
figures  are  included  all  the  deaths  of  invalids  from  other  States  and  foreign 
countries,  many  of  whom  were  in  a  dying  condition  upon  their  ari-ival.  The 
Los  Angeles  Medical  Society,  independent  of  the  merits  of  either  sewer  system. 
Iieing  familiar  with  the  facts,  deprecates  su<-h  pre.indicial  procedures.  The 
business  and  most  populous  residence  portions  of  the  city  are  already  well 
supplied  with  sewers  of  ample  capacity  and  in  good  sanitary  condition.  On 
the  contrary,  Los  Angeles  has  less  general  sickness,  and,  consequently,  a  lower 
mortality,  than  any  other  city  of  equal  size  in  the  United  States.'  " 

«     *     * 

The  need  of  a  medical  library  was  early  recognized,  and  at  the  meeting  of 
December  19,  1890, 

"The  Library  Committee  reported  lliat  they  had  secured  two  dozen  chairs, 
in  addition  to  those  previously  reported  on.  also  a  chair  for  the  President,  and 
a  new  desk,  and  a  seal  for  the  Society's  use.  Tiie  committee  also  reported  that 
thev  had  written  a  circular  letter  to  publishers  of  all  of  the  known  journals  of

dred, recjiiesting  them  to  send  their  rospective  journals,  gratuitously,  to  the 
library  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  Medieal  Association." 

At  the  same  meeting  it  is  stated  that 

"The  Secretary  also  called  tiie  attention  of  the  meiiii)ers  to  the  faulty  con- 
dition of  the  Constitution  and  lij'-laws,  and  moved  that  a  committee  of  three 
be  appointed  by  the  chair  to  revise  the  same  and  report.  After  some  discussion 
the  motion  was  put  and  carried  and  the  chair  appointed." 


Tn  tile  minutes  of  the  miMtiiig  of  June  5,  1891,  it  is  stated  that 
"It    being  understood   that    the   Women's   Friday   ilorning   Club   desired 
rooms,  Dr.  Arils  was  instructed  to  offer  the  Society  quarters  for  a  considera- 
tion." *     *     *

Till-   minutes  of  Febrnary  .■),  1892,  state  that 

■A  letter  was  read  from  Air.  C.  D.  Willard,  Scri-etary  of  thr  Chaiuber  of 
Conuaerce,  containing  the  following  resolution  passed  at  the  meeting  of  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  Chamber  of  Couuiierce,  Jannary  29,  1892: 

■■  '  It  ( sol  rid.  That  the  President  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  Medical  Society 
l)e  reipu'sted  to  furnish  the  leading  medical  journals  of  the  United  States,  tor 
publication,  the  meteorological  reports  as  furnished  liy  the  U.  S.  AVeather  Bn- 
reau  of  Los  Angeles,  and  also  the  mortuary  report  of  the  city,  with  such  com- 
ments as  in  his  judgment  are  necessary  to  enal)le  the  citizens  of  other  places  to 
correctly  compare  the  healthfnlness  of  this  place  with  their  own.' 

"The  subject  was  discussed  at  some  length  by  Drs.  Davisson,  Hitchcock. 
Orme,  H.  Bert.  Ellis,  Miller  and  FitzGerald.  aftJr  which  Dr.  11.  Kcrt.  Ellis 
made  the  following  motion : 

'■  'Moved:  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this  Society  that  it  is  une.xpedient  and 
unwise  to  send  the  mortuary  and  meteorological  reports  to  eastern  journals, 
because  they  are  incomplete  and  inaccurate  and  hence  liable  to  harm  rather 
than  benefit  Los  Angeles.'  " 

*  «       ■:* 

At  the  meeting  of  September  6,  1892,  it  is  stated 

"Dr.  M.  L.  Moore  offered  the  following  resolution: 
"  'To  Uis  Tfonor.  ihc  Mayor,  and  the  Honorable  Members  of  the  City  Council: 

"  'WiiERE.vs.  The  presence  of  cholera  is  at  our  shores,  we  cannot  tell  how 
soon  it  will  be  in  our  midst,  and 

"  'Where.vs,  Filthiuess  is  a  jtredispo-sing  cause  and  cleaning  our  city  is 
necessary,  therefore  we,  as  representing  the  mcdii-al  profession  of  this  city,  do 
request  that  as  many  inspectors  be  granted  ;it  once  as  the  Board  of  Health  may 
deem  advisable.'     which  was  adoi)ted.""

On  October  20,  1893: 

"Dr.  11,  G,  Brainerd  made  a  motion  to  accept  the  offer  of  City  Librarian 
to  take  the  medical  journals  as  the  committee  reported.  Seconded  by  Dr, 
Davidson, 

"After  being  discussed  by  several,  on  putting  the  (picstion  it  I'csulted  in  a 
tie.    The  President,  Dr.  Dodge,  cast  the  deciding  vote  in  favor  of  the  negative.

''Dr.  II.  Ui'rt.  Ellis  made  :i  iiicitioii  to  liuvc  tin-  medical  journals  discon- 
tinued, M'hich  was  lost." 

At  the  meeting  of  January  1!),  1894 : 

"Dr.  II.  Bert.  Ellis  stated  that  the  State  .Medieal  Society  met  in  Los  An- 
geles five  years  ago,  and  if  we  wished  to  have  it  meet  here  in  1895  it  was  time 
some  action  should  be  taken,  and  to  hriiii;-  it  before  the  Society;  he  maile  the 
following  motion  : 

■■  '  h'l siihud.  That  the  Los  Angeles  Coiuity  .Medical  Association  invite  the 
State  Society  to  hold  their  meeting  in  Los  Angeles  April,  189.5,  l)Ut  if  the  State 
Society  show  a  disposition  to  figiit  and  divide  the  delegation  from  the  southern 
part  of  the  State,  to  withdraw  the  invitation  in  order  to  keep  ourselves  out  of 
local  difficulties  of  the  San  Francisco  faction.'    The  motion  was  seconded. 

■"Dr.  Wills  said  that  it  would  be  better  not  to  iiixite  the  Society  if  we  had 
reason  to  beli<'ve  there  wouhl  i)e  an  attempt  maile  to  divide  the  southern  dele- 
gation. 

"l)i-.  Hieknejl  opposi'd  any  motion  whieh  eontaiiied  any  provision  to  with- 
draw it. 

'"That  the  entertaining  of  the  State  Society  meant  considerable  outlay  of 
money,  and  it  should  be  well  considered,  and,  if  we  should  de<-ide  to  send  an 
invitation,   io  fifjiif  it  out. 

"Dr.  Wills  said  the  matter  was  presented  tonight  in  order  to  find  out 
whether  or  not  we  want  the  State  Society  to  meet  in  Los  Angeles  in  1895,  and 
certainly  we  do  not  want  an  invitation  sent  without  the  hearty  co-operation  of 
all  the  members. 

"Dr.  Lasher  stated  that  the  State  Society  does  not  meet  imtil  April,  and 
more  time  should  be  taken  to  consider  the  nuitter,  and  with  permission  of  the 
mover  of  the  motion,  he  moved  the  r|uestion  to  be  withheld  until  a  later  meet- 
ing. ""

At  th.'  me,ting  of  October  18,  1895,  it  is  stated  that 

"Dr.  T.  -1.  ^McCoy  read  a  very  interesting  paper  on  "Forty-nine  hirvae  or 
Texas  screw-woiMiis  removed  from  the  naso-pharynx  and  soft  jialate  (showing

A  very  interesting  scientific  meeting  in  Jlay,  180(1.  in  w  hirh  Di-.  S.  A. 
Knopf,  now  of  New  York,  read  a  paper  entitled,  "'Should  We  Trent  Consump- 
tion as  a  C'Ontagious  or  as  a  Communicable  Disease?"  was  followed  by  the 
filing  of  charges  against  a  member  for  unprofessional  conduct.  The  action  of 
the  Society  was  interesting  as  the  following  excerpts  show: 

The  Board  of  Censors  wishing  to  nuike  a  report.  Dr.  Hitchcock  moved, 
seconded  by  Dr.  Dodge,  that  executive  session  be  declared.     Carried. 

The  Board  of  Censors  then  reported  having  received  the  following  com- 
munication:     "We  hereby  formally  charge  Dr.  ,  a  member  of  the 

Los  Angeles  County  Society,  with  having  violated  Article  IV  of  the  Constitu- 
tion of  this  Society,  in  that  he  operated  on  two  patients  for  the  German-English 
Specialists,  said  operations  having  been  exploited  in  the  advertisement  of  said 
German-English  Specialists  in  the  Sunday  Times  of  April  26."  And  recom- 
mended that  the  Society  hear  the  explanation  of  the  accused. 

After  Dr.  's  explanation  an<l  a  free  discussion,  the  Boai-d   of 

Censors  reported,  recommending  that  the  charges  be  not  sustained.  This  i-e- 
port  was  adopted  by  the  Society  by  a  vote  of  17  to  10. 

Dr.  Cole  moved  that  it  was  the  sense  of  the  Society  that  Dr.  

acted  indiscreetly  in  accepting  patients  from  Gernum  and  English  Specialists 
and  in  allowing  Dr.  to  be  present. 

Dr.  Hitchcock  moved  an  amendment  that  he  s1k)u1(1  not  do  so  any  more. 
1))-.  Knopf  an  amendment  that  he  should  not  swear  again  in  the  Society. 

Amendments  were  accepted  by  mover  and  the  motion  was  carried.

As  a  result  of  a  communication  from  the  Santa  Clara  County  ]\Iedieal  So- 
ciet.v  on  Contract  Practice,  after  much  discussion,  resolutions  as  follows  were 
finally  adopted  by  the  Los  Angeles  Society : 

Whereas,  Rendering  professional  services  at  a  stipulated  fee  per  capita 
per  annum  is  derogatory  to  the  dignity  of  the  iledical  Profession,  we,  the  un- 
dersigned physicians  and  surgeons  of  Los  Angeles  County,  California,  enter 
into  the  following  agreement : 

First.  We  mutually,  jointly  and  individually  pledge  our  word  of  honor 
not  to  enter  into  any  contract  or  agreement,  or  renew  any  existing  contract  or 
agreement,  either  written,  verbal  or  implied,  to  render  medical  or  surgical 
services  to  any  lodge,  society,  associations,  or  organizations  for  less  compen- 
sation than  we  charge  the  general  public  for  similar  services.  Provided  ninety 
per  cent,  of  the  legal  practitioners  in  the  county  sign  the  same. 

Second.  This  agreement  shall  not  be  construed  to  affect  existing  contracts 
between  physicians  and  surgeons  and  the  above-mentioned  bodies. 

Third.  These  pledges  shall  take  effect  and  be  in  force  for  a  term  of  three 
(3)  years  from  and  after  February  1,  1897. 

This  agreement  shall  not  apiily  to  hos])itals  and  purely  pul)lic  charitable 
institutions.  F.  D.  Bullard,

'I'lic  iii'cd  (iT  a  more  intimate  affiliation  between  th«  State  JMedical  Society 
;iii<l  the  coiiiity  units  led  to  the  presentation  of  the  following  letter  by  a  eom- 
niittee  from  the  Medical  Society  of.  tlu;  State  of  California  in  December,  1890, 
several  years  prior  to  the  reorganization  of  the  American  ^Medical  Association: 

1200  Van  Nkss  Ave.,  San  PraiCcisco, 

December  15,  18!)(). 
Gentlemen  : — At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Medical  Society  of  the  State  of 
California,  a  committee  was  appointed  to  consider  methods  by  which  the  Stati; 
Society  would  be  brought  in  closer  affiliation  with  the  local  societies  and  thus 
be  more  representative  of  the  profession. 

Tlu-  committee  has  decided  that  these  objects  cnuld  best  bi^  obtained  if 
membership  in  the  local  Society  entitled  each  one  tn  meuibcrship  in  the  State 
Society ;  provided  that  the  secretary  of  each  local  Society  forwarded  to  the 
secretary  of  the  State  Society  on  or  before  the  81st  day  of  May  in  each  year  a 
list  of  members  together  with  a  fee  of  two  dollars  per  head.  This  fee  to  take 
the  place  of  the  present  ainiual  dues.  A  very  trivial  increase  of  the  monthly 
dues  of  the  local  Society  would  easily  enable  its  secretary  to  pay  the  per  cajiita. 
Should  any  local  Society  fail  to  send  in  its  annual  list  and  dues,  all  the 
members  would,  of  course,  be  suspended  from  the  State  Society  until  itayment 
w;is  made. 

It  is  very  evident  that  such  a  plan  would  increMse  the  iiitluence  lA'  the 
County  Societies  as  they  W(jidd  beeonu^  the  local  representatives  of  the  State 
Society. 

Members  of  the  profession  residing  where  no  County  Society  exists  would 
be  admitted  to  membership  on  the  jjresent  basis. 

Please  present  this  pro|)osition  to  your  Society  as  soon  as  luissible  and 
let  us  know  its  action  in  the  matter.     Yoiu's  sincerely, 

Wm.  W.  Kerr. 
IT.  M.  Sherman.

Wm.  Fitch  Cheney. 

Committee. 


Tile  reply  to  this  communication,  after  consideralile  discussion,  was  post- 
poned for  ;i  siiliseciuent  meeting,  the  committee  report  being  as  here  appended: 

The  committee  recommends  that  the  Secretary  reply  to  the  comnuinication 
from  the  committee  of  the  State  Society  that  the  proposed  charge  in  retiuire- 
ments  for  membership  in  State  Society  do  not  meet  with  the  ai)proval  of  this 
Society,  in  that  they  require  all  the  members  of  the  local  Societies  to  become 
members  of  the  State  Society,  or  else  allow  none  of  them.  We  would  recom- 
mend that  all  members  of  loc'al  Societies,  w  ho  ;iic  in  ^ciod  standing,  should  be 
entitled  to  membership  in  the  State  Society,  by  liaviiig  their  names  and  ."^2  for 
eaeli  name  forwarded  l)y  the  Secretary  of  the  local  Society  to  the  Secretary  of 
the  State  Society,  and  we  believe  it  would  be  advisable  to  make  the  annual  dues 
•$1  instead  of  .+2  as  proposed,  with  perliaps  an  increase  of  the  initiation  fee  to  $5. 

In  this  way  we  believe  that  the  autonomy  of  the  local  Societies  would  be 
preserved  and  the  nuMubership  of  the  State  Society  increased  from  285,  its 
present  membership,  to  many  times  that  number.

52  THE  MEDICAL  rh'OF ESSlOX 

Annit  till'  mercury  trcatiiiciit  I'm'  t  iiln'i-i-iihisis  which  has  recently  causi^d 
so  much  iliscussion.  it  is  intei'estiiii;-  to  rcaii  in  the  minutes  of  a  discussion  nu 
syi)hilis  at  a  meeting  in  OctolnT.  I,s:i7,  the  i-emai'ks  ol'  \)f.  (irainiUc  .Mac(  Jowan 
Khouhl   he  of  interest  : 

Dr.  MaeGowan — I  can  tell  Dr.  ("ole  how  to  recognize  syphilis,  if  he  can 
see  it.  One  i)apule  is  good,  two  is  better,  and  three  are  sure.  AH  lesions  under 
mieroseope  are  seen  to  be  made  up  of  smaller  cells  as  elosely  packed  as  jiossible. 
All  eruptions  except  the  macular  have  an  ai)preciable  luirdness.  are  copper 
colored;  the  papular  have  dirty  scales;  there  is  sonu'thiug  under  the  sUin  like 
a  foreign  body — it  is  infiltrated.  These  cells  do  not  have  a  very  good  lease  on 
life.  Mercury  acts  like  a  tonic  to  restore  life  by  sending  red  blood  to  tissu(>s. 
When  .secondary  lesions  are  pi-esiMit  you  will  ha\-e  a  pecidiar  sallow  anemic 
appearance,  differing  decidedly  I'rom  other  anemias. 

1  would  warn  against  nuiking  diagnoses  on  the  use  of  m(>rcury  or  iodide 
of  potassium.  These  remedies  are  good  for  almost  all  depressing  diseases. 
Have  seen  cases  where  the  tuber(de  bacilli  was  present  get  well  under  these 
remedies.  The  lesions  here  also  consist  of  cells  closely  packed  togethei".  but 
not  so  nuicli  so  as  in  syphilis.  If  you  apply  stick  nitrate  of  silver  to  syi)hilis. 
it  will  not  siidv  in,  but  in  tuberculosis  it  will. 

The   need   of  steps  to  tight    t  nlii-l'culosis,   the   disease   responsiljle    lor  sucdi   a 

large  proportion  of  California  mortality,  owing  to  the  constant  inllux  of  in- 
fected persons  from  the  East,  no  doubt  led  Dr.  John  ^FcCoy  to  present  the  fol- 
lowing resolution  at  the  meeting  of  November  'A.'  1890 : 

Resolved,  that  we  request  the  Governoi-  of  California  to  call  the  atten- 
tion of  the  next  Legislature  to  the  importance  ol'  legislation  on  the  sulijeet  of 
tuberculosis,  and  of  a  State  Sanitarium  for  tuliei-cuhius  people. 

Dr.  Powers  suggested  that  the  niattei'  lie  rcFii-i'ed  to  State  iJoard  of 
Health,  but  Pr.  ilcCoy  said  they  would  not  meet  until  after  the  Legislature, 
when  it  would  be  too  late,  so  motion  was  jiiit  and  carried. 

The  controversy  which  waged  not  only  in  < 'alifoi'nia.  but  throuuhout.  as 
to  whether  liubouic  plague  did  or  did  nut  exist  in  and  about  San  l''i-ancisco 
in  IDUU,  led  to  the  passage  of  the  apiiemleil  resolutions  at  the  -Inly  meeting  of 
that  year : 

Whereas,  The  quarantine  officer  of  San  Francisco,  Dr.  .1.  .1.  Kiiiyoun.  be- 
ing considered  by  his  colleagues  a  most  competent  officer  in  the  .Marine  Ser\ice 
and  regarded  throughout  the  country  as  an  authority  on  bacteriology,  and 

Whereas,  The  said  Dr.  Kiuyoun,  having  faithfully  and  courageously  dis- 
charged his  duties  to  the  best  of  his  abilities,  has  been  most  unkindly  and 
unreasonably  dealt  with  by  the  Governor,  Federal  authorities  and  news])ai)ers 
who  are  not  competent  .judges  of  quarantine  regulations,  nor  capable  of  pass- 
ing on  bubonic  plague  nor  other  diseases  which  may  come  to  the  port  of  San 
Francisco ;  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  we,  membo's  of  Los  Angeles  County  ]\Iedical  Association, 
wlio  know  Dr.  Kinyoun's  reputation  and  ability,  express  our  entire  confidence 
in  his  judgment  and  ability,  and  are  glad  that  we  have  so  efficient,  com])etent 
and  courageous  an  official  to  guard  the  largest  port  of  entry  in  California.  Be 
it  further 

Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  ^Medical  ,\ssocia- 
tion  forward  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  to  Dr.  J.  J.  Kinyoun.  that  he  may  be 
advised  of  the  esteem  and  confidence  in  which  his  work  is  held  by  his  col- 
leagues in  this  tiart  of  the  State.

Tlie  interest  of  the  Society  in  the;  work  of  the  Health  Office  of  Los  Angeles,

"  Whereas,  The  Mayor  has  not  yet  nominated  and  the  Council  not  yet  eon- 
liriiied  the  appointment  of  the  Health  Officer,  therefore,  lie  it 

"Resolved,  That  we,  the  Los  Angeles  County  Medical  Association,  in  regu- 
lar session  assembled,  respectfully  and  lU'gently  recpiest  that  the  present  effi- 
cient and  thoroughly  satisfactory  Health  OtHcer,  Dr.  L.  M.  Powers,  be;  at  once 
appointed,  and  we,  the  niendjers,  pledge  ourselves  to  usi;  all  our  intiiu-nce  to 
this  end." 

This  being  put  to  motion,  it  was  s<'cou(1imI  and  carried  unaniiiuiusly.  The 
Seci'etary  was  instructed  to  write  the  ]\Iayor.  inclosing  a  copy  of  the  resolu- 
tions, and  also  to  send  a  copy  to  the  Council  and  to  the  morning  pajiers. 

It  was  moved  and  seconded  and  carried  that  the  Society  go  into  executive 
session,  after  which  the  committee  for  prosecution  of  illegal  practitioners  then 
made  its  report  ver})ally  and  presented  a  letter  from  its  attorney,  showing  the 
arrests,  convictions  and  tines  to  date,  and  it  is  here  appended: 

Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  Dec.  21.  l!l()0. 
Ti)  M(.s.srs.   Wills,  Juluisuii  oikI  J)ocI(Jc: 

De.\h  Siks: — I  herewith  present  a  rejjort  of  investigations  and  prosecutions 
against  illegal  practitioners  up  to  date.  The  following  cases  have  been  pressed 
to  a  final  detc^rmination  and  with  the  following  results: 

In  the  case  of  People  vs.  Igleses  [)rosecuted  in  the  Police  Court  of  Los  An- 
geles City  upon  two  charges,  was  found  guilty  and  fined  -i^lOO  in  each  case. 
The  same  individual  was  arrested  for  practicing  illegall.y  in  Long  Beach  and 
upon  examination  was  held  to  appear  before  Su|)erior  Court,  plead  g\ii!fy  and 
was  fined  $oU. 

Benj.  Perez  was  prosecuted  in  the  Police  Court,  found  guilty  and  fined  ^|;10(). 

Minnie  Wells  was  fined  sf^lOO. 

There  is  now  ]iending  in  the  Police  Court  in  some  stage  or  other  six  cases, 
ainl  1  have  complaints  ready  in  five  other  cases  to  file  within  the  next  day  or 
two.  In  addition  to  these  we  have  located  sonu'  fifteen  or  twenty  illegal  prac- 
titioners which  we  believe  it  is  almost  impossible  to  reach  under  the  pi'eseut 
statutes  of  our  medical  law,  but  with  some  amendments  to  the  same  there 
would  be  no  difficulty  in  stojiping  their  practice. 

Very  respectfully   yours, 

W.  ,AL  BiiowN.

The  reorganization  of  the  American  ^Medical  Association  and  of  thi»  state 
and  county  units  is  noted  in  the  mimites  Jainiary  17,  11)02,  thus: 

■"ilr.  Chas.  JIarshall,  organizer  for  the  American  iledical  Assocation,  then 
addressed  the  Society.  He  told  of  the  organization  of  the  A.  M.  A.  at  St.  Paul 
last  year  and  of  the  wish  that  all  County  iledieal  Societies  and  Associations 
would  ally  themselves  with  the  State  Societies  and  through  them  with  the  A. 
il.  A.    He  said  that  many  Los  Angeles  physicians  were  .ioining  the  A.  j\L  A." 

At  the  succeeding  meeting  held  Febi-uary  7,  1902,  it  is  noted  that  Dr. 
LeMoyne  Wills  read  a  fine  pa|)er  on  the  sul)ject  of  the  Federation  of  the 
Jledieal  Societies. 

Dr.  J.  H.  Davisson.  who  was  to  ha\e  read  a  pajier.  made  an  address  on 
the  subject  of  the  evening,  ■"The  Federation  of  Medical  Societies." 

While  favoring  the  organization  plan  recently  ado]ited  by  the  A.  'M.  A.,  he 
said  in  reality  it  was  not  a  new  idea,  having  been  the  aim  of  the  first  years  of 


54  THE  MEDICAL  l'i:oi'ESSI().\ 

the  history  of  the  A.  il.  Association.  Hi-  ln-du^'ht  ii|p  si-M-ral  points  in  favor 
of  the  County  and  Slate  .Medical  Socictirs.  One  (Kjint  to  lie  adjusted  was  the 
matter  of  dues,  which  at  the  |)resent  time  were  apt  to  he  excessive  especially 
to  men  of  slender  uieans.  He  was  lieartily  in  favor  of  organization  and  affil- 
iation with  the  State  Medical  Society  on  e(|uable  l)asis  as  regards  dues. 

Dr.  W.  \V.  Hitchcock  said  in  i)art  tluit  he  was  heai'tily  in  favor  of  organ- 
ization anil  a  closer  atHliation  with  the  State  Medical  Society. 

The  medical  profession  should  \<r  nmrc  of  a  unit  on  matters  of  legislation 
so  as  to  secure  equal  rights  for  all.  .V  |ilan  of  reorganization  which  would 
unite  the  County  iMedical  Societies  with  tin-  State  .Medir-al  Societies  should 
be  agreed  on  and  all  doctors  should  lie  meinlieis  ol'  the  State  .Medical  Society. 
The  ouly  way  to  suppress  (luaeiverj-  and  iuetticieucy  Avas  to  organize  for  nuitual 
protection  and  advantage.  The  question  of  dues  is  an  important  one  and  I 
believe  they  can  lie  placed  on  a  inoi-c  economical  basis  than  at  present.  JMany 
young  men  wish  to  join  the  State  Jledical  Society,  hut  while  it  always  meets  in 
or  near  San  Francisco,  they  feel  that  the  outlay  is  not  justified  because  of  the 
great  expense  of  attending  the  nu^etings.  Xo  body  of  men  does  such  a  great 
amount  of  good  work  for  such  snuill  pay  as  tlie  medical  profession. 

Further  discussion  I'axoralile  to  the  oiijeet  ol'  aftiliation  was  ln'ard  tVom 
Drs.  Bullard,  Bicknell,  Dodge.   Wills,   liraiuerd  and  Stivers  and   K.   K.  Smith. 

It  was  moved  by  Dr.  W.  Li'UU)yne  Wills,  seconded  by  Drs.  Dodge,  Hicknell, 
Smith  and  others,  that  a  committee  be  appointed  by  the  Presitleut  to  confer 
with  a  like  committee  of  the  State  Jledical  Society  on  the  subject  of  closer 
affiliation,  the  nuitter  of  dues  and  other  details  to  be  hd't  with  the  committee 
The  motion  was  carr-ieil  and  the  President  named  Drs.  Wills,  Biclvuell,  Dodge, 
Ilitchcock,  Cole.   Smith   and   Stivers  as  nu-mbers.

At  the  meeting  of  October  •'!.  ^'.H)'2.  the  following  written  comiininieation 
was  received  from  Dr.   II.  IJert.  Ellis: 

.Mr.  President  and  l''ellow  .Mend)ers:  1  nioxc  that  a  eonniiittei'  be  ap- 
pointed tonight  to  re\isi'  our  ( 'onstitution  and  Uy-laws,  to  eom|ily  with  tlu' 
Constitution  and  By-laws  of  the  California  State  .Medical  Society,  and  n^poi't 
at  next  regular  meeting. 

The  motion  being  secured  and  put  to  vote  it  was  deelai'eil  carried.  The 
President  apjiointed  the  following  committee:  Dr.  11.  liiit.  l^llis.  \)\\  F.  D. 
Bullard,   Dr.  Geo.  L.   Cole. 

The  recurrent  fight  against  the  medical  law  of  the  State  was  felt  as  usu;d 
during  the  meeting  of  the  Legislature  in  1!)03,  and  at  the  close  of  the  meeting 
of  the  Society  held  February  (j  of  that  year,  which  was  devoted  to  a  discussion 
of  the  bubonic  plague  in  San  Francisco,  Doctors  E.  S.  Pillsbury,  Bewlcy,  L.  M. 
Powers,  Cobb  and  Stanley  P.  Black  agreeing  that  it  had  existed  there  for  a 
muuber  of  years,  the  matter  of  medical  legislation  came  up  for  discussion. 

Dr.  AV.  Eeinoyne  Wills  otVered  the  following  resolution  and  moved  its 
adoption : 

Whinas,  The  existing  medical  law,  while  not  as  perfect  as  it  might  be,  is 
a  decided  improvement  on  fornuM'  laws,  and  is  doing  much  to  raise  the  standard 
of  qualifications  of  those  admitted  to  the  practice  of  medicine  in  this  State,  and 

Mlicnas,  The  medical  bills  introduced  in  the  present  session  of  the  Legisla- 
ture are  calculated  to  lower  the  standard  and  undo  the  good  that  has  been 
accomplished  in  the  past  two  years,  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved.  That  it  is  the  desire  of  this  Association  that  our  rc])reseutatives 
in  the  State  Legislature  do  all  in  their  power  to  defeat  said  bills  and  continue 
the  present  law  in  force ;  and  further  be  it 


/.V  SOVTIIEUS  CAlJFOh'MA.  55 

li(S(ilccd.  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  sent. to  eaeh  representative 
t'l'oin  this  seetion  of  the  State. 

Tliis  was  carried  unanimously  antl  the  secretary  ordered  to  send  copies  to 
each  Senator  and  Reiiresentative  from  the  southern  part  of  the  State.

The  Los  Aiiijelcs  ( 'ouiitv  .Medical  Association  at  the  meeting  of  January 
II,  llll)."),  i)assed  the  aiipeudcd  resolutions  relatin^r  to  projjrietary  medicines: 

]Vli(r(a.s.  The  principles  of  Medical  Ethics  promulgated  by  the  American 
.Mi'dieal  Association  wisely  state  that  "It  is  derogatory  to  professional  charac- 
tei-  l(ii-  ]ihysicians  to  prescribe  or  promote  the  use  of  secret  remedies."     And 

Wliircas,  Advertising  secret  remedies  in  the  pages  of  medical  journals  is 
considered  to  promote  their  use,  and 

M'hcreas.  A  remedy  is  well  defined  as  "Any  agent  or  substitute  used  in 
tile  treatment  of  disease"  and  such  a  remedy  is  a  secret  remedy  unless  its  exact 
nature  or  composition  or  the  (piantities  of  its  active  ingredients  are  |)lainly 
stated  in  the  advertising  statements  relating  to  such  remedy;  therefore  be  it 

h'csolvtd,  That  the  council  and  officers  of  the  Medical  Society  of  the  State 
of  California,  in  conference  assembled,  instruct  the  secretary  to  respectfully 
call  these  matters  to  the  attention  of  the  Trustees  of  the  A.  M.  A.  of  which 
jiiurnal  we  are,  jointly  with  all  other  members  of  the  Association,  the  owners. 

And  in  further  requests,  that  the  trustees  in  the  conduct  of  our  said 
journal  apply  the  rules  adopted  by  the  Association  at  its  last  meeting,  as 
recommended  l)y  the  special  Committee  on  Proprietary  Remedies,  governing 
the  rejection  of  advertisements  submitti'd  foi-  ()ulilie;it  iuii  in  the  journal  of  the 
.Vssociation.   which   rules  are   as  foilows: 

Articles  To  Be  Refused  Admission. 

1.  ^ledical  articles  of  secret  composition. 

2.  Articles  for  internal  medical  use  advertised  or  in  ;iny  manner  ex- 
j)loited  as  remedies  or  cures  to  the  laity. 

■i.  ^Medicinal  articles  of  knt)wn  composition  whose  formulae  do  not  give 
the  exact  quantities  of  the  active  medical  agents  and  their  names  in  recognized 
scientific  terms. 

4.  Articles  with  ti'Mile  names,  without  thi'  true  seientilie  eiieiiiic-al  name, 
or  if  mi.xtures  or  pharmaceuti<'al  preparations,  without  a  pharmaceutical 
title  which  describes  its  pharmaceutical  character  and  the  [u-ini-ipal  active  in- 
gredients. 

We  also  respectfully  ask  that  the  Trustees  call  the  attention  of  the  Asso- 
ciation, through  the  editorial  pages  of  the  Journal,  to  that  portion  of  the  prin- 
ciples of  ethics  therein  referred  to,  and  the  desirabilitj'  of  living  up  to  it  and 

of  refraining  from  the  use  or  promotion  of  secret  remedies.

PASADENA   BRANCH   OF   THE   LOS   ANGELES   COUNTY   MEDICAL   ASSOCIATION. 

Through  the  kindness  of  Doctor  I).  I'..  Van  Slyck,  we  are  able  to  present 
the  following  interesting  account  of  the  Pasadena  branch  of  the  Los  Angeles 
County  JMedical  Association. 

On  Septeml)er  6th,  188)S.  the  lollowiui;  i)()stal  eartl  was  sent  to  each  pliy- 
sieian  of  the  city  of  Pasadena : 

Dk.\u  Doctor : — It  has  been  suggested  that  the  resident  physicians  of  Pas- 
adena sliould  form  an  association  for  the  pi'omotion  of  social  and  professional 
interests.  For  that  purpose,  it  is  purposed  to  call  a  meeting  at  the  parlors  of 
the  Carlton  Hotel  at  5  p.m.  Thursday,  September  13th,  1888.  A  dinner  will 
be  served  at  that  time  at  .+1.00  jier  plate.  Should  you  desire  to  participate, 
will  you  please  notify  Dr.  A.  TL  Davis,  lock  box  891,  on  or  before  Thursday, 

Se|)teml)er    nth:'      Kespeetfullv.  GeO.    De.\CON,    IM.D. 

D.  B.  Van  Slyck,  M.D. 
A.  II.  Davis,  M.D. 
FoKDVCE  Gkinnell,  .M.D. 

Piu'suant  to  this  call,  there  assembled  at  the  Carlton  Hotel  at  the  appointed 
time,  Drs.  Davis,  Van  Slyck,  Deacon,  Griunell,  Hall,  Swenneugen.  Slaughter. 
Piukney,  Shark,  Eveleth,  JMcAUister,  Dalrymple,  Radebaugh  and  Rowland — 
fourt<'en  pliysieians  in  active  practice,  excepting  Dr.  Slaughter,  retired. 

After  an  hour  of  social  converse  antl  informal  discussion  of  the  object  of 
the  nu'cting,  and  the  enjoyment  of  an  excellent  dinner.  Dr.  Van  Slyck  was 
called  to  the  chair  and  it  was  voted  to  organize  as  a  permanent  ]\IedicaI  Asso- 
ciation. 

In  accordance  with  a  vote  of  the  meeting,  the  ehair  appointed  Drs.  Row- 
land, Radebaugh  and  Griunell  a  committee  to  draft  a  constitution  and  by-laws. 

The  meeting  adjourned  to  meet  October  :iOth  in  the  rooms  of  the  Pii-k- 
wick  Club. 

At  the  second  meeting,  on  the  date  and  at  the  appointed  place,  a  constitu- 
tion and  by-laws  were  adopted,  and  Dr.  Davis  elected  President;  Dr.  Rade- 
baugh, Vice-President;  Dr.  Rowland,  Secretary,  and  Dr.  Hall,  Treasurer. 

At  this  meeting  Drs.  Arnott,  Fraser,  Kelsey  and  JlcWilliams  joined  the 
Society. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that,  of  these  sevi'nteen  original  memliers,  there 
are  still  in  practice  in  Pasadena  Drs.  Deacon,  (Trinnell,  Radebaugh,  Van  Slyck, 
Swearengen,  Slierk  and  Rowland. 

During  the  first  year  of  the  Soeii'ty  the  attendance  of  members  varied 
from  six  to  twelve  in  numl)er. 

At  the  next  annual  meeting,  October  :i(ith,  1889,  Dr.  John  Adams  was 
elected  President,  and  the  other  officers  re-elected. 

It  appears  from  the  record  that  Dr.  Adams  served  as  President  until  Feb- 
ruary 20,  1892.  when.  I  infer,  be  either  left  town  or  the  Society  ceased  to  liohl

i-ci:iil;ii'  iiicci  iiiiis  111-  cli'i-l  (itlici'i-s.  Dnriiiu-  lln-  iircsidenL'y  of  Dr.  Adams, 'flic 
iiiliMTsI  111'  iiiiMiiljcrs  in  tln'  Society  was  at  a  \ryy  low  t-hb.  ])rs.  Slierk  and 
li'adcljaiijili  had  iTsignetl  March  iird,  1890,  and  tlic  attcndjiiK.-c  on  tlif  niet'tings 
had  dwiiidh'd  to  two  or  three,  or  at  most  four. 

Tlicre  are  no  records  of  a  meeting  from  February  20th,  1892,  until  Octol)er, 
1S1)4,  wlien  the  physicians  of  the  city  were  i-all('(l  together  to  provich?  for  tlu; 
eiderlainmelit  of  Soutlwrn  Califoi-nia  ]\Icdii-Ml  Sdcirty,  wbi(di  met  in  I';isadena 
()(dol)er  19th. 

The  profession  respondi'd  lilici-ally,  and  thi-  rntci'tainirirnt  was  in  rN'cTy 
way  satisfactory. 

This  meeting  of  the  Soutiiei-n  (.'alifoi'iua  .Medical  Society  had  a  very  salu- 
tary local  elfect,  e(|ual  to  a  "revival  effort,"  convicting  of  sin  and  bringing 
liackslideis  hack  into  the  Told — the  result  of  bringing  us  all  together  once  more. 

.\(i\('niher  2nd,  1894,  the  Society  met  and  elected  Dr.  Van  Slyek  President. 
Dr.  .\lohi'  \' ice-President,  and  Dr.  ]{owland  Secretary-Treasurer. 

Al  the  next  annual  meeting  the  elecdion  of  officers  was  postponed,  and  did 
not  take  phice  till  February  28th,  189(i,  when  Dr.  F.  F.  Rowland  was  elected 
President. 

•lanuary  28th.  1897,  Dr.  K.  .1.  ,Mohr  was  eh'cte<l  Pivsident.  Fi-om  this  time 
on  there  was  an  annual  elecdion  of  ot'Hcers,  and  the  presiding  officers  served  in 
the  following  order:  1898,  Dr.  (h'innell;  1899,  Dr.  King:  1900,  Dr.  JlcPride: 
PKIl,  Dr.  Abbott;  1902,  Dr.  Loekwood;  ]9(W,  Dr.  Sherk  :  1901,  Dr.  .Mattison: 
lliii.").  Dr.  Hoberts;  1906,  Dr.  Fenyes ;  1907.  \)v.  lloag:  IHOS.  Dr.  Sherry;  1909, 
Dr.  .\eweomii;  ]910,  Dr.  Janes;  1911,  Dr.  Dilwoiih. 

The  last  four  presiding  officers  were  ideeted  under  the  new  constitution  of 
the  Slate  Society,  by  wduch  all  local  Medical  Societies  were  merged  in  the 
County  Societies,  and  thi!  Pasadena  Jledical  Soeiet.v  became  the  Pasadena 
Branch  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  IFedieal  Soeiet.v.  Its  pi-esiding  officer  is 
called  chairman  and  is  elected  annually. 

This  Society,  since  its  orgainx.ation  in  1888,  has  had  hut  three  Secretary- 
Treasurers.  Dr.  F.  F.  Rowland  to  189G,  Di'.  .J.  E.  Janes  lo  1910.  and  Dr.  .Mdeii 
siiiei'  that   date. 

It  is  only  fair  to  say  that  the  appai-ent  apatiiy  of  the  pnd'ession  in  Pasa- 
dena up  to  about  '94  and  '95,  was  but  a  refieetion  of  the  general  dein-ession, 
discouragement,  sense  of  property  loss  and  depreciation  incident  to  the  col- 
lapsing of  the  great  "boom"  of  1887.  About  '94  and  '95  values  scimii  to  have 
been  adjusted,  and  the  city  commenced  a  careci'  of  growth  and  prosjierity 
which  has  continued  to  the  present  time. 

In  1890  its  i)opulation  was  oidy  5000;  in  l!)00.  Id.dOd.  At  the  present 
time  it  is  ladieved  to  be  not  less  than  80,000.  With  this  i-ajiid  increase  in  num- 
bers, tlici-e  have  come  to  us  from  the  East  many  physician.s — specialists  in  all 
lines,  as  Avi'll  as  general  ]iractitioners — and  fortunatcdy  for  the  i)rofession  and

has  always  lircii  foremost  in  disL-ussing  all  qiu'stious  of  publir  iicaltli.  as  well 
as  most  iin-asures  pertaining  to  the  general  welfare  of  the  eity.  1  am  sure  we 
were  praetieally  a  unit  in  desiring  the  muuieipal  ownership  of  water,  and  re- 
gret the  defeat  of  the  bonds  in  tiie  reeent  eleetion.  From  a  sanitary  point  of 
view  we  must  deeply  deplore  the  defeat  of  the  bonds  for  an  incinerator.  The 
disposal  of  the  city's  garbage  as  at  present  eondueted  is  a  disgrace  to  the  city, 
and  a  menace  to  the  public  health. 

1  trust  we  can  ett'ectively  exert  our  iiilluciice  to  bring  about  a  better  state 
of  things  in  this  regard  in  the  near  future. 

The  School  Inspector,  the  lleaitli  Officer,  and  tlu'  uieinhers  of  llie  I'.oard 
of  Health  are  all  members  of  this  Society.  The  former  luis  already,  in  less 
than  one  year,  fully  demonstrated  the  value  and  importance  of  his  office,  and 
that  he  is  the  "right  man  in  the  right  place."  The  Health  Officer  has  won 
golden  opinions  for  his  industry  and  thoroughness,  and  his  department  is  a 
model  of  efficiency  and  so  considered  everywhere  in  Southern  California. 

When  the  addition  and  improvements  to  our  hospital,  now  in  progress,  are 
completed,  we  can  justly  claim  that  we  have  an  institution  of  which  a  city  of 
three  times  our  population  might  be  proud.  Its  inception  began  with  this 
Society  and  in  its  developments  it  has  relied  upon  and  received  our  unquali- 
fied support. 

In  looking  over  the  records  of  the  Society,  I  was  struck  by  the  admirable 
synopsis  of  the  papers  generally,  as  given  by  the  secretaries,  and  also  of  their 
interest  and  practical  value.  It  was  also  exceedingly  interesting  to  note  liow 
thoroughly  they  kept  in  touch,  as  time  went  on,  with  the  advancement  of  med- 
ical science  and  practice,  and  the  high  order  and  scientific  value  of  many  of 
the  jiapers,  especially  of  those  of  the  last  few  years. 

"With  this  brief  sketch  of  the  Society's  history  for  twenty  years,  i  leave 
to  the  members,  old  and  new,  to  add  such  reminiscences  as  may  occur  to  them, 
and  to  correct  anv  errors  I  mav  have  inadvertently  fallen  into. 


SAN   DIEGO    COUNTY    MEDICAL    SOCIETY.

ORANGE    COUNTY    MEDICAL    SOCIETY. 

To  the  courtesy  of  Dr.  John  Dryer  of  Santa  Ana  we  ai'e  iu(li'l)ted  for  the 
facts  in  the  following  interesting  account  of  tin-  Orange  County  Medii-al  So- 
ciety : 

In  prefacing  this  short  account  of  the  first  twenty  years  of  this  Associa- 
tion, I  will,  I  trust,  be  pardoned  for  using  the  first  person  in  leading  up  to  the 
actual  beginning  or  formation  of  an  organization  which  has  meant  so  much 
to  the  medical  profession  in  Orange  county. 

On  the  4th  day  of  June,  1889,  the  election  for  the  formation  of  a  new 
county  resulted  favorably  for  county  division,  and  a  legal  separation  of  what 
is  now  Orange  county  from  the  mother  county  of  Los  Angeles.  This  led  at 
once  to  a  segregation  of  interests  of  all  kinds  and  every  soi-t  of  business  began 
to  adjust  itself  to  the  new  regime. 

There  were  at  the  period  mentioned  nearly  as  many  jihysicians  practicing 
in  the  new  county  as  there  are  now,  a  careful  estimate  showing  a  very  small  net 
gain,  and  this  has  been  mostly  in  outside  places.  Santa  Ana,  excepting  Osteo- 
paths, has  but  two  more  doctors  than  were  here  in  1889.  Fullerton,  Anaheim 
and  Orange  have  each  gained  from  one  to  four,  while  in  some  smaller  outside 
places  there  has  been  a  loss.  Westminster  then  had  none.  Huntington  Beach 
was  not  on  the  map.  Fairview,  Tustin.  Capistrano.  Bolsa  neighborhood  and 
MePherson  each  had  one,  now  none. 

The  i)rofession  was  wholly  unorganized  with  but  few  mciubcrsliips  even  ni 
the  Los  Angeles  ^ledical  Society,  and  only  two  in  the  State  organization. 

On  the  evening  of  June  12th,  just  eight  days  after  county  division  hail 
become  an  assured  fact,  the  late  Dr.  J.  A.  Crane  and  myself  were  in  conversa- 
tion over  medical  matters,  and  the  question  of  organizing  a  county  society  was 
mentioned.  Dr.  Crane  expressed  an  ardent  desire  for  innuediate  action,  and 
for  him  to  think  was  to  act.  Accordingly  at  noon  of  the  next  day  be  appeared 
at  my  door  with  a  re(|Uest  that  I  at  once  see  certain  nuMubers  of  the  profession, 
that  lie  had  already  notified  some  and  that  it  was  the  purixtse  to  meet  at  2  i).m. 
in  Judge  Iluiiiplirey's  ofiice  on  Main  street,  situated  where  the  building  occu- 
pied by  llie  Sunset  Clul)  now  stands.  The  reason  for  such  hasty  action  was  that 
certain  undesirable  parties  were  that  day  proposing  a  county  organization 
which  would  necessarily  include  some  very  objectionable  elements.  It  was  to 
forestall  such  action  and  secure  recognition  from  the  ]Medical  Society  of  the 
State  of  Calironiia  that  tlie  meeting  of  June  i:!tli  was  cnll-Hl.

A  summary  of  tlic  miiuitrs  of  tliis  first  assciiihiiii^'  c 
lows:     TluTi'  were  present  the  following  gentlemen:     1 

A.  Crane,  Dr.  J.  .M.  Laey,  Dr.  S.  B.  Davis,  Dr.  .1.   1,. 
Dr.  J.  P.  Boyd — seven  in  all. 

Dr.  Crane  called  to  oriler  and  stated  the  object  of  the  meeting.     Dr.  W. 

B.  Wall  was  elected  temporaiy  president  and  Dr.  J.  P.  Boyd  tem|)orary  sec- 
retary. 

The  following  agreement  was  di'awH  up  niid  signed  liy  ;\\\  present  :  "We, 
the  imdersigned  physicians  of  Orange  county,  agree  to  form  ourselves  into  an 
organization  to  be  known  as  the  Orange  County  Medical  Association,  and  to  he 
governed  by  such  rules  as  may  hereafter  he  determined  upon." 

On  motion  of  Dr.  Crane  the  secretary  was  authorized  to  receive  I  he  signa- 
tures of  Dr.  J.  K.  IMedlock  and  Dr.  L.  II.  Fvdler,  who  had  signified  their  wil- 
lingness to  become  mend)ers,  but  wei'c  unable  to  be  jiresent.  The  following 
resolution  was  offered  and  unanimously  carried : 

"Resolved,  That  any  regular  physician  of  Orange  county  against  whom  no 
objection  is  raised  at  a  subsequent  meeting  may  be  admitted  and  allowed  to 
participate  in  the  organization  of  this  society." 

Under  this  resolution  Dr.  J.  II.  l^uUard  of  Anaheim  and  Dr.  W.  1>.  Wood 
of  Orange  were  received  and  became  participants.  The  names  of  the  charter 
mend)ers,  so  to  speak,  together  with  their  colleges  of  graduation  to  show  the 
wide  range  of  places  from  whicli  they  came  to  Southern  California,  are  as  fol- 
lows, there  being  eleven  in  all  : 

AV.  B.  Wall,  M.D.,  Tustin,  .leirerson  .Med.  College,  Penu.sylvania ;  J.  A. 
Crane,  M.D.,  Santa  Ana,  ^Med.  Dept.  W- es.  Res.,  Ohio ;  J.  M.  Lacy,  M.  D.,  Santa 
Ana,  Med.  Dept.  IT.  of  Nashville,  Tenn.;  C.  D.  Ball,  M.D.,  Santa  Ana,  Univ. 
Bishops'  Col.,  Quebec,  Canada;  J.  P.  Boyd,  JI.D.,  Santa  Ana,  Med.  Dcjit.  l'. 
City  of  New  York,  N.  Y. ;  J.  L.  Dryer,  M.D.,  Santa  Ana,  Cin.  Col.  of  .M.  i:  S.. 
Ohio;  S.  B.  Davis,  M.D.,  Santa  Ana,  Med.  Dept.  I',  of  Michigan,  Michigan; 
J.  R.  i\Iedlock,  M.D.,  Santa  Ana,  St.  Louis  IMed.  Col.,  Missouri;  L.  II.  Fidler, 
M.D.,  Tustin,  Med.  Dept.  Dartmouth  Col..  N.  II.:  J.  II.  Bnllard.  M.D..  Ana- 
heim, Harvard  Med.  Col.,  Massachusetts:  W.  1!.  Wood,  :\r.D..  Orange.  .Mo.  .Med. 
Col.,  Missouri. 

The  next  meeting  was  held  .lune  25th,  at  which  time  a  Constitution  and  By- 
Laws  were  adopted,  and  uniler  the  i)crmanent  organization  the  following  offi- 
cers were  elected  and  installed  to  serve  until  the  first  annual  meeting  in  189U: 

President,  Dr.  W.  B.  Wall ;  Vice-President.  Dr.  J.  il.  Laey ;  Treasurer,  Dr. 
\V.  B.  Wood;  Secretary,  Dr.  J.  P.  Bovd.  I'.oard  of  Censors,  Dr.  C.  D.  Ball,  Dr. 
J.  R.  :\IedIock.  Dr.  J.  H.  Bullard. 

The  first  members  elected  under  the  Constitution  were  Di-.  I.  1).  ^lills, 
Santa  Ana,  Indiana  Med.  Col.,  Ind.,  and  Dr.  D.  W.  Hunt,  Anahi'im.  .Med.  l)e|)t. 
U.  of  ]\Iich.,  whose  applications  were  received  in  August  and  favorably  acted 
upon  in  Septend)er.  On  Nov.  5th  Dr.  J.  A.  Blake  of  Fullerton  was  elected  to 
membership,  but  there  is  no  record  of  his  ever  having  at  any  time  honored  the 
Association  with  his  presence. 

The  year  1889  closed  with  foui-teen  members  upon  the  roll,  and  no  addi- 
tions to  this  list  occiirred  until  18!)4,  while  there  was  during  this  period  a  net 
loss  of  three  on  account  of  changes  of  location.  These  Avere  the  Dr.  Blake 
above  mentioned.  Dr.  S.  B.  Davis  and  Dr.  L.  II.  Fuller,  the  two  last  named, 
charter  members. 

The  minutes  of  these  years  show  excellent  wctrk  in  the  way  of  papers  and 
discussions  and  study.  The  first  |)ai)er  was  read  by  Dr.  C.  D.  Ball  at  the  meet- 
ing of  July  2nd.  1889,  who  reported  some  interesting  cases  of  pulmonary  dis- 
ease an<l  exhibited  some  pathological  specinu-ns.    From  this  time  until  the  pres- 


IS  s<)iriii:i;s  caijfohma.  61 

eiit,  iiU'ctings  have  been  rc}z:ular  ;inil  wi'll  atlnidcil,  and  the  iiitiTi-st  lias  iifvcr 
alialrd.  I'^spccially  was  this  true  oi'  ISitd.  TIh'  lirst  annual  nn'ctin^'  was  a 
public  (lUr  lirld  in  Spurgcoii's  Hall,  and  addressed  by  Dr.  Walter  i.indlev  and 
I'roi'essoi',  now  Judge  Conrey  of  Los  Angeles. 

The  year  1890  was  full  of  intei-est,  an  important  event  occurring  in  the 
spring,  when  the  Afedical  Society  of  (,'alifornia  met  in  annual  sessirin  in  Los 
Angeles. 

This  was  the  successful  light  against  |)i-ofessional  indeeenc.v  ami  uiK'thieal 
conduct,  the  contest  being  carried  into  the  State  Society  and  into  the  Medical 
Society  of  Southern  California,  and  resulting  in  the  expulsion  from  ])oth  bodies 
of  an  offending  mend)er  of  thost'  societies,  although  his  membership  with  said 
societies  iintetlated  the  formation  of  oui'  own  organization.  The  moi-al  effect 
of  this  action  has  proven  an  excellent  one  for  this  Association,  and  has  enabled 
it  til  uphold  a  high  standard  of  medical  ethics. 

I'nder  a  pi'ovision  of  the  Constitution,  Drs.  T.  A.  Davis  and  ('.  .M.  Fenn  of 
San  Uiego  and  Dr.  Elizabeth  FoUansbee  of  Los  Angeles  were  elected  honorary 
members  of  the  Association.  This  action  was  taken  in  recognition  of  their 
eminent  services  in  the  profession  and  also  as  a  token  of  appreciation  for  their 
sympathy  and  assistance  in  the  contention  before  the  State  Society  the  ])revious 
year.  Under  a  new  by-law  providing  for  associate  members,  Dr.  F.  A.  Wood 
of  Orange,  a  retired  physician,  was  elected  an  associate  member  in  1S!)1. 

Tn  June  of  this  3'ear,  189L  the  Association  entertained  the  IMedical  Societ.v 
of  Southern  California,  the  meeting  and  baiKiuet  being  held  in  what  was  then 
the  Odd  Fellows'  Hall  in  the  First  National  Dank  building.  The  meeting  was 
well  atteniled  and  a  good  time  was  had  by  all.  An  excursion  about  and  through 
the  valley  was  greatly  apin-eciated  by  the  visiting  doctors,  although  there  was 
a  marked  absence  of  automobiles.  Twice  since  then  this  Association  has  enter- 
tained the  Southern  Society,  one  of  these  times  ])eing  in  1899,  again  without 
automobiles;  the  other  being  in  19I)S,  when  a  crowd  of  machines  wim-c  ready, 
but  the  weather  was  not. 

From  the  very  beginning  of  this  oi-ganization,  good  work  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  papers  and  presentation  of  cases  for  clinical  study  have  been  the  rule. 
The  average  number  of  papers  read  annually  for  twenty  years  has  been  eight, 
nuiking  a  grand  total  of  one  hundred  and  sixty.  Until  the  completion  of  the 
Carnegie  Library  building  the  meetings  have  usually  been  held  in  the  office  of 
the  physician  whose  time  it  was  to  read  a  jiaper  or  lead  a  discussion.  For  the 
most  part  these  have  been  in  Santa  Ana,  though  many  interesting  sessions  have 
been  held  in  the  siuM-minding  towns  when  the  pliysicians  in  such  towns  have  seen 
fit  to  invite  the  members  there.  Since  the  Carnegie  Library  has  been  comiileted 
the  sessions,  when  in  Santa  Ana,  have  been  there  in  the  Executive  Committee 
room,  ad.joining  which  a  growing  library  has  been  established  in  a  convenient 
alcove  containing  at  the  jiresent  time  several  hundred  volumes.  All  classes  of 
sul).iects  have  been  treated  in  the  pajiers  and  discnssions,  and  one  who  is  liis- 
posed  to  search  the  records  for  the  natui-e  of  these  will  find  they  have  all  kept 
pace  with  the  progressive  spirit  of  the  profession.  Though  from  the  first  organ- 
ization in  1889  until  1894,  the  membership  declined  in  numbers,  it  never  fell 
below  the  original  number  eleven,  DcmIIi  has  dealt  kindly  with  us.  only  thri'e 
active  members  having  passed  away  duriiiu-  this  period.  In  l!Hi.'i  the  loved  and 
honored  ]ihysician  and  gentleman.  Dr.  J.  A.  Crane,  dii'd  s\iddenly  in  his  home 
in  Santa  Ana.  He  had  recently  returned  I'roui  a  four  years'  service  as  super- 
intendent of  the  State  Hospital  for  the  Insane  at  Agnews,  Cal.  During  this 
absence  he  retained  his  membership  in  the  Association  and  came  baidv  to  Or- 
ange connt.v  on  account  of  failing  health.  Tn  his  splendid  eharactei'.  his  attain- 
ments as  a  pli.vsician.  his  succi'ss  in  the  public  position  .mIiovc  incut  inned,  this

body  has  every  reason  to  \>r  proud,  .-iinl  as  lonj;-  ms  tlic  Oi'ange  County  Medical 
Association  exists  it  will  cherish  and  honor  his  memory. 

Another,  Dr.  J.  G.  ^IcCloutl  of  Garden  (jli'ove,  died  whih'  in  active  mem- 
bership. ])r.  ilcCloud  joined  the  Association  in  1903,  but  failing  health  pre- 
vented his  attendance  except  on  one  or  two  occasions.  He  died  at  Xewhall, 
where  he  had  formerly  practiceil  his  profession.  Of  those  who  have  left  the 
county  or  retired  from  active  mend)ership,  Dr.  L.  \V.  Allingham,  who  served 
as  i)resident  in  1898,  died  a  few  years  later  in  Ramsl)erg,  Cal.  Dr.  Allinjiham 
was  always  an  earnest  and  conscientious  worker  in  the  society,  and  added  mu(di 
to  the  interest  as  long;  as  he  remained  a  meudx'r,  or  until  failing  health  ca\ised 
him  to  remove  from  our  midst.  The  next  of  the  honored  and  revered  ex-presi- 
dents to  go  was  the  late  Dr.  Wm.  Burgess  Wall,  a  man  whose  great  interest  not 
only  in  his  profession  but  in  all  things  relating  to  his  fellow-men,  brought  him 
in  contact  with  almost  every  social,  business  anil  professional  interest  in  Orange 
county.  Although  a  retired  physician  he  was  chosen  the  first  president  of  the 
Association  and  served  in  the  same  capacity  three  successive  terms  several 
years  later.  His  sj'rapathies  and  his  aspirations  w'ere  always  with  the  doctors 
of  his  time,  and  he  strictly  continued  his  relations  to  the  Medical  Society  of 
California  as  M-ell  as  the  local  organization.  So  far  as  known  there  have  been 
no  other  deaths  either  among  members  or  ex-mend)ers,  although  during  the 
twenty  years  of  the  existence  of  this  Association  an  even  fifty  nanu's  have 
been  borne  upon  its  roll  of  membership.  Sonu'  have  come  into  the  county, 
affiliated  with  the  Association  for  a  longer  or  shorter  period,  and  then  moved 
on  to  other  fields.  Since  under  the  rules  of  this  Association  memliership  is 
vacated  by  removal  from  the  county  and  residence  elsewhere,  it  is  impossible 
to  give  the  exact  duration  of  any  membership  so  terminated. 

Beginning  with  the  new  influx  of  iiKMubers  in  1894,  the  first  after  the

Dr.  J.  L.  Dryer. 

There  have  l)ecn  seventeen  presidents,  Dr.  W.  H.  Wall  having  served  four 
vears,  first  in  1889,  again  in  1894,  1895.  1896,  Each  of  the  others  served  single 
"vears  as  follows:  1890.  Dr.  Laey ;  1891,  Dr.  :Medloek:  1892,  Dr.  Dryer;  1893,

Wehrlcy. 

Tliere  lijivc  been  ten  .seeretaries,  viz:  Dr.  Boyd,  Dr.  Ball,  Dr.  Fuller,  Dr. 
Di-yer,  Dr.  Rubleman,  Dr.  J.  B.  Cook,  Dr.  Berneike,  Dr.  Gordon.  Dr.  Clark, 
Dr.  Burlew.  Dr.  Boyd  served  three  years.  Dr.  Ball  two  and  a  half  years.  Dr. 
Fuller  one-half  year.  Dr.  Dryer  six  and  oue-half  years,  Dr.  Berneike  one  and 
one-half  years.  Dr.  J.  B.  Cook  one-half  year.  Dr.  Gordon  four  years,  Dr.  Clark 
one-half  year.  Dr.  Burlew  one  and  one-half  years. 

In  1895  Dr.  C.  W.  Rairdon  was  elected  secretary,  but  never  acted  in  that 
rapacity. 

The  first  constitution  anil  by-laws  were  formed  to  meet  the  requirements  of 
the  Association  and  to  conform  to  the  code  of  ethics  of  the  American  iMedieal 
Association.  These  were  afterwards  remodeled  under  the  constitution  of  the 
Medical  Society  of  the  State  of  California,  each  member  of  a  county  organiza- 
tion in  affiliation  with  the  parent  society  being  also  a  member  of  the  latter. 

The  endeavor  has  always  been  to  promote  harmony  and  good  fellow.ship 
among  physicians.  Many  knotty  points  in  medical  ethics  have  been  thrashed 
out.  sometimes  to  the  satisfaction  of  all,  at  others  to  the  disappointment  of  a 
part  of  the  membership.  The  records  which  are  to  be  i)reserved  in  the  library 
of  the  Association  contain  ail  details  of  these  disputes  and  controversies,  and 
have  no  place  in  such  a  review  as  the  present  one.  They  are  matters  of  his- 
tory recorded  in  black  and  white,  and  if  in  the  future  any  curious  reader  of 
this  historical  sketch,  which  is  also  to  be  a  matter  of  record,  should  desire  to 
read  them,  it  will  be  an  ea.sy  matter  to  find  them.  It  will  be  better,  however, 
to  forget  them  and  to  ever  bear  in  mind  the  good  which  this  society  has  accom- 
plished.    May  the  next  twenty  years  be  as  prosperous.

The  career  of  the  organization  has  been  uni(|ue  in  many  rcspiM-ts.  and  has

THE    MEDICAL    SYMPOSIUM    SOCIETY    OF    LOS    ANGELES. 

In  the  fall  of  1905,  several  of  the  younger  medical  men  of  Los  Angeles 
conceived  the  idea  of  organizing  a  society  whose  membership  was  to  be  confined 
to  the  young  men,  and  whose  object  was  to  be  the  study  of  advanced  medical 
thought,  teaching  and  proced)U-e  as  indicated  by  its  name;  its  meetings  were  to 
take  the  shape  of  a  symposium  u\H>n  the  sub.ject  for  study.

The  meetings  were  held  in  the  offices  of  the  various  ineui)>ers,  were  well 
attended  and  full  of  instruction  and  pi-otit  to  all. 

The  first  meeting  of  each  year  took  the  form  of  a  formal  dinner,  which 
occasions  were  the  scene  of  great  ])leasm-e  and  friendly  feeling  to  all  members. 

The  year  1906-07  .saw  Dr.  -lohn  C.  Ferbert  as  President  and  Dr.  K.  C. 
^loore  as  Secretary. 

During  19(I7-()S  Dr.  Win.  R.  .Molony  was  President  and  \)r.  Arthur  (iodin 
was  Sei'retary. 

i;i()S-()9  saw  Dr.  Rea  Smith  in  the  chair  and  Dr.  Don  Frick  as  Secretary. 
During  this  year  the  policy  of  the  Society  was  modified  so  as  to  provide  for 
the  consideration  of  ease  reports,  clinical  cases  ami  pathological  specimens  at 
each  regidar  meeting.  This  feature  has  proved  to  be  a  success  and  has  added 
much  to  the  interest  of  the  programs. 

The  officers  for  1909-10  were:  President.  Dr.  Don  Frick,  and  Secretary. 
Dr.  C.  W.  Anderson;  and  for  1910-11.  were  Dr.  E,  C.  Moore.  President,  and  Dr. 
F.   L.  Anton,  Secretary-Treasin-er. 

Since  the  organization  of  the  Society  several  mendiers  have  di-opped  out 
and  their  jilaees  have  been  filled  by  Drs.  AV.  \V.  Richardson,  E.  II.  AViley,  P.

Lissner,  and  as  honorary  member.  Dr.  E.  L.  Leonard. 

The  Society  has  a  membership  limited  to  thirty:  this  nundx'i-  seems  to  be 
most  satisfactory,  in  that  it  jirovides  ample  opportunity  for  all  members  to 
ju'csent  a  paper  from  time  to  time  and  to  frequently  take  part  in  the  discussions. 

The  Society  has  jiroven  its  value  and  its  futui-e  success  seems  assured,  in

MEDICAL  COLLEGES. 

THE    LOS    ANGELES    DEPARTMENT    OF    THE    COLLEGE    OF    MEDICINE    OF    THE 
UNIVERSITY    OF    CALIFORNIA. 

This  iu.stilutiou  clui-iiig  the  j-oars  188.")  to  l!)Oi)  was  the  meclieal  di'partuieiit 
of  tile  University  of  Southern  California.  In  July,  11)09,  the  property  of  the 
eollege  was  deeded  to  the  State  University  of  California,  and  its  faeulty  heeaiiie 
the  faeulty  of  the  Los  Angeles  Department  of  the  College  of  .Medii-in<'  of  the 
University  of  California.  The  history  of  the  institution  deals  thei-efore  witli 
two  periods :  the  University  of  Southern  California  period,  from  188.")  to  190!), 
and  tile  State   University  of  California  period,  beginning  in  tin'  latter  year. 

*     *     • 

First  as  regards  the  origin  of  the  institution: 

In  the  year  1880  the  State  of  California  ehartered  the  University  of  South- 
ern California,  and  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  began  its  work  of  teaching  in 
the  following  year.  Five  years  later,  the  Board  of  Tru.stees  empowered  Dr. 
J.  P.  Widney  to  take  steps  toward  the  organization  of  a  medieal  department 
of  the  University  and  upon  his  eall,  the  first  faeulty  met  at  his  offiee  and 
formally  established  "The  College  of  ]Medicine  of  the  University  of  Southern 
California." 

The  minutes  of  the  first  meeting  give  tin-  following  account  of  the  pro- 
ceedings : 

"A  preliminary  meeting  of  the  Profession  was  held  in  the  office  of  Dr.  J.  P. 
Widney  in  the  Widney  Building  on  First  Street  near  Spring  on  IMarch  31,  188.J, 
to  consider  the  advisability  of  organizing  a  ]\Iedieal  Department  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Southern  California. 

"Dr.  Widney,  who  had  been  elected  Dean  of  the  Faeulty  by  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Univer.sity,  with  power  to  organize  the  ^Medical  Department, 
occupied  the  chair.  On  motion  of  Dr.  Lindley,  Dr.  Pereival  was  elected  Secre- 
tary of  the  meeting. 

"The  opinions  expressed  were  largely  in  favor  of  prompt  and  energetic 
action  in  regard  to  the  matter,  and  one  and  all  without  excej)tion,  recom- 
mended that  the  institution  be  placed  at  once  on  a  footing  equal  to  any,  and 
superior  to  the  majority  of  medical  colleges  of  the  United  States,  ilany  ex- 
pressed themselves  as  being  unwilling  to  have  any  hand  in  the  oi-ganization 
of  any  school,  other  than  the  very  best." 

This  thought  of  a  eollege  aiming  to  do  work  equal  to  the  very  best,  which 
■was  laid  down  by  the  founders  of  the  College,  many  of  whom  are  still  associ- 
ated with  the  institution,  has  been  kept  constantly  in  mind.  This  College  was 
the  fourth  in  the  United  States  to  insist  upon  a  three-year  course  of  medicine 
and  from  its  inception  almo.st,  has  been  a  member  of  the  Association  of  Amer- 
ican iledical  Colleges,  subscribing  in  all  particulars  to  its  requirements,  and 
endeavoring  always  to  raise  the  standard  of  medical  education  and  attainment 
in  the  Great  Southwest. 

The  fir.st  session  of  the  College  was  held  in  a  brick  building  still  standing 
at  447  Aliso  Street,  and  there,  for  many  years,  the  work  of  instruction  was 
carried  on. 


l.X  SOrniEKX  CALIFOhWIA.  71 

In  1S95  the  College  came  into  possession  of  its  present  extensive  site  ex- 
tending from  Huena  Vista  to  Castelar,  between  Ord  and  Alpine  Streets,  on 
which  lots  the  buildings  named  l)elow  have  been  erected.  This  location  is  in  the 
oldest  portion  of  the  city,  founded  more  tiian  a  hundred  years  ago,  and  it  is  in 
this  .section  of  the  city  that  the  Mexican  and  foreign  population  is  crowded. 
For  these  reasons,  it  has  an  admirable  environment  to  draw  from  for  clinical 
material,  more  than  l.').(in{l  patients  receiving  aid  at  this  Dispensary  annually. 

The  Founders'  Building. — In  18M3.  this  building,  a  three-story  structure 
facing  Buena  Vista  Street,  was  erecteil  at  a  cost  of  $2(I.()0U.  This  str\icture  has 
been  named  the  Founders"  Building,  as  a  trilnite  to  the  loyalty  and  work  of  the 
original  members  of  the  Faculty  and  their  immediate  successors,  whose  efforts 
made  the  erection  of  this  building  possible.  The  original  Faculty  included 
Doctors  M.  yi.  Bovard.  J.  P.  Widney.  W.  G.  Cochran,  H.  H.  Maynard,  Joseph 
Kurtz,  W.  LeMoyne  Wills.  G.  W.  Lasher,  II.  S.  Orme.  Walter  Lindley.  F.  T. 
Bicknell.  J.  H.  I'tley.  \V.  B.  Percival,  C.  A.  II.  de  Szigethy,  A.  :McFariand.  E. 
A.  Follansbee.  J.  S.  Baker,  X.  Xadeau.  A.  F.  Darling  and  R.  .M.  Widney. 
Among  those  who  later  became  iilentitied  with  the  original  faculty  were  Doc- 
tors W.  L.  Wade.  F.  L.  Ilaynes.  J.  R.  Ilaynes.  H.  Bert.  Ellis,  D.  G." MacGowan, 
II.  G.  Breanerd.  D.  C.  Barber.  X.  P.  Conrey.  Wm.  D.  Babcock,  F.  D.  BuUard. 
W.  W.  Beckett.  George  L.  Cole. 

The  Ilendryx  Pathological  Laboratory.— Gn  January  6th.  1899,  Dr.  W.  A. 
Ilendryx,  as  a  memorial  to  his  wife.  Lucy  Sheppard  Hendryx.  presented  to  the 
College  an  admirably  arranged  and  eipiipped  two-story  building,  designed  by 
Prof.  Stanley  P.  Black,  for  the  Department  of  Pathology.  This  building,  which 
cost  $10,000.  is  located  some  distance  from  the  noise  and  dust  of  the  street. 

The  Dispensary  Building. — The  dispensary  clinic  rooms,  until  190.'j.  were 
in  Founders"  Building,  but  in  that  year,  at  a  cost  of  $20,000,  a  new  building  to 
the  rear  and  south  of  the  Ilendryx  Laboratory,  was  erected. 

The  Barlow  iledical  Library. — In  190(),  Dr.  W.  Jarvis  Barlow,  a  member 
of  the  faculty,  erected  on  Buena  Vista  Street,  just  opposite  Founders'  Building, 
a  library  which  he  presented  to  the  medical  profession  of  the  Great  Southwest. 
It  is  a  handsomely  equipped  fire-proof  concrete-brick  structure  costing  more 
than  thirty  thousand  dollars.  In  this  building  the  College  has  placed  its  library 
of  more  than  five  thousand  volumes.  The  library  facilities  are  open  to  the 
medical  students  and  profession  of  the  city  and  of  the  entire  Southwest. 

The  careers  of  the  alumni  of  the  institution  as  measured  by  jirofessional 
attainments  and  honors,  during  this  brief  quarter  of  a  century,  may  be  taken 
as  an  index  of  the  standards  and  character  of  instruction  which  has  pervaded 
this  College  of  iledicine  from  its  inception.    The  list  of  graduates  is  as  follows :

The  desirability  of  having  all  medical  education  under  the  direct  super- 
vision and  control  of  the  State  was  foreseen  by  him  who  may  be  said  to  have 
been  the  moving  spirit  among  the  founders  of  the  College  of  Medicine  of  the 
University  of  Southern  California,  Dr.  J.  P.  Widney,  the  first  and  for  many 
years  the  Dean  of  the  medical  department,  and  for  a  number  of  years  also  the 
President  of  the  University  of  Southern  California. 

In  two  addresses  of  more  than  twenty  years  ago,  printed  in  Voluiue  II  of 
the  Soullicni  California  I'ractHioncr.  he  voiced  views  of  so  advanced  a  stand 
that  it  has  taken  the  score  of  years  since  foi-  the  nui.jority  of  practitioners  to 
fully  appreciate  the  wisdom  of  his  foresight  aud  i)lans. 

The  first  of  Dr.  Widney's  articles  from  which  we  ([uote,  is  from  his  address 
as  chairnuin  of  the  Committee  on  Medical  Education  delivered  before  the  iled- 
ical  Society  of  the  State  of  California  in  the  year  1887.     Therein  he  said : 

HOW    WOrLD    THIS    PLAN    DEAL    WITH    THE   SO-C.VLLED    NEW    SCHOOLS   OP    MEDICINE? 

"In  this  way.  The  only  point  upon  which  these  schools  base  their  claims 
for  recognition  is  upon  some  peculiarity  in  the  use  of  drugs. 

"This  leaves  the  great  fields  of  anatomy,  i>hysiology,  chemistry,  pathology, 
surgery,  obstetrics,  and  in  fact  the  whole  range  of  medical  science  except  thera- 
peutics, unquestioned  even  by  the  schools  which  teach  what  to  us  seem  unsound 
views  in  medical  treatment.  Let  the  State,  then,  by  law  grant  the  right  to  con- 
fer the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Medicine  to  all  schools  teaching  in  good  faith  the 
branches  which  have  been  enumerated,  together  with  such  others  as  may  be 
designated,  requiring  a  three  years'  course  of  a  specified  number  of  months 
each  year,  and  certain  clinical  facilities. 

"Let  the  graduates  of  that  school,  whatever  may  be  the  peculiar  views  held 
upon  i)oints  of  thera])eutics.  have  the  right  to  enter  the  State  University  for 


IX  SOITIlK/ry  CALIFOh-MA.  75 

their  final  year,  and  if  they  can  pass  the  examination  let  them  be  graduated 
with  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Jledieine,  this  degree  carrying  with  it  the  right 
to  practice  medicine. 

"With  this  enforced  higli  stamiard  nT  rducatidii  the  ipiestion  of  lliera- 
peutics  may  saf(dy  be  left  to  settle  itself.  The  impoi-tant  point  is  to  see  to  it 
that  every  [)ractitioner  of  medicine  shall  be  an  educated  man.  There  will  he 
no  more  si)eedy  way  of  putting  an  end  to  unsound  views  upon  such  p(jints  than 
to  give  to  the  student  a  thorough  training  in  the  gi-eat  underlying  princi|)les 
of  disease,  its  causation,  its  phenomena,  and  its  pathological  i-esults  in  the 
human  body. 

"The  nu'n  who  have  been  tlioi'oughly  trained  in  these  points  may,  as  a 
general  thing,  be  safely  left  to  judge  of  principles  of  practice.  1  believe  tliat 
the  safest,  the  best,  the  most  speedy,  and  in  fact  the  only,  way  to  put  an  end 

to  narrow  and  unsound  views  upon  therapeutics,  and  to  scl Is  which  may  be 

based  upon  them,  is  not  outlawry,  but  education. 

The  other  excerpt  which  we  quote  is  from  a  paper  on  "Rational  .Medi- 
cine," delivered  the  same  year  before  the  Unity  Club  of  Los  Angeles.  Here 
Dr.  Widney  speaks  as  follows: 

".\ND   THE   QFESTION    OP    SCHOOLS?    OF    DOGM.VS  ?    OF   THEORIES? WHAT    OF    THESE? 

"Time  will  settle  these:  time,  and  more  knowledge.  As  I  have  alreadj' 
said,  one  of  the  merits  of  Rational  Medicine  of  today  is,  that  it  has  learned  to 
beware  of  positive  dogmas  and  theories,  and  the  schools  which  are  based  exclu- 
sively upon  them.  It  has  found  that  they  are  short-lived,  and  die  out ;  for  they 
are  based  not  upon  science,  but  upon  one  view  of  science.  Then,  if  that  view 
proves  to  be  narrow,  or  mistaken,  or  false,  there  is  nothing  left,  and  of  course 
they  ilie.  It  has  felt  in  its  own  history  the  evil  of  these  things,  and  how  they 
may  become  a  clog  and  a  bar  to  progress.  It  has  learned  that  even  today,  with 
all  the  great  advance  which  has  been  made  in  the  accumulation  and  classifica- 
tion of  facts,  the  stock  is  not  yet  sufficient  for  final  generalization ;  and  so  has 
learned  to  work  and  to  wait.  In  so  varied  a  field,  with  a  causation  so  varied, 
will  a  single  general  theory  of  disease,  its  causation  and  its  management,  ever 
be  possible?  It  may  be  doubted.  It  certainly  is  not  as  yet.  And  so  Rational 
]\ledicine,  grown  wiser  than  the  old,  aims  to  waste  no  time,  no  labor,  upon  prob- 
lems which  are  as  yet  of  necessity  unsolvable.  Insteail,  its  aim  now  is  to  delve 
yet  more  deeply  into  the  facts,  and  to  push  ever  higher  the  standard  of  nu'dical 
education.  It  feels  that  by  this  road,  and  l)y  this  road  only,  is  the  way  to  the 
higher  truth. 

"And  to  the  various  schools  of  medical  practice,  schools  basing  themselves 
upon  rigid  dogmas  and  theories,  it  has  only  this  to  say:  'We  cannot  feel  that 
you  are  doing  the  most  worthy  work.  'We  cannot  feel  that  you  are  best  further- 
ing the  advancement  of  human  knowledge.  We  can  only  feel  that,  whether 
you  pei-ceive  it  or  not,  you  are  dropping  out  of  the  current  of  jirogress:  that 
by  your  i)rcmature  generalization,  and  your  rigid  dogmas,  you  are  tying  your 
own  hands  in  the  battle.  It  is  with  no  feeling  of  unkindness  we  look  upon 
you;  yet,  standing  as  you  do  u]ion  your  narrower  basis,  we  cannot  recognize 
you  as  most  worthy  members  of  a  liberal  science. 

"  'Only,  we  plead  with  you  to  weed  out  the  low-grade  institutions  of  learn- 
ing in  your  ranks.  Raise,  as  we  are  doing,  the  standard  of  eilucation,  and  keep 
advancing  it  ever  liigluM-.  If  you  arc  honest  in  youi-  l)elief,  and  we  do  not  pro- 
pose to  (pii'stion  this,  you  need  not  fear  the  light,  and  increased  knowledge. 
Let  these  lie  the  test :  the  dross  will  disapjicai'.  and  whatever  of  good  there  may 
be  will  remain. ' 

"And  the  time  will  come,  in  that  newer  day.  upon  that  higher  plane  of 
science,  when  scdiools  will  drop  away:  and  no  one  shall  say.  'I  am  of  Paul,  and

What  Dr.  Widmy  advocateil  two  decades  ago,  in  thie  time  came  to  pass, 
the  story  of  how  tln^  College  of  ^Medicine  of  the  University  of  Southern  Califor- 
nia becaine  the  hos  Aiigeh's  Medical  Departnicnt  of  iho  State  riiivrrsity  being 
l)rietiy  outlined  in  an  iMlitoi'ial  in  llu'  March,  1IM)'.I.  Sdiillnni  ('(illf<iriii(i  I'ruc- 
tilioni  r. 

The  affiliation  of  the  College  of  i\ledieine,  the  University  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia, with  the  University  of  California  has  now  been  eonsnmmated.  The 
physicians  who  founded  this  medical  college,  of  whom  the  leading  sjiirit  was 
Dr.  Joseph  P.  Widncy,  the  tirst  Dean,  and  the  ]ihysieians  who  have  becoiiK?  ac- 
tively interested  in  its  welfare  during  later  years,  of  whom  the  leading  spirit  is 
Dr.  W.  Jarvis  Harlow,  the  present  Dean,  have  done  a  noble  work  in  liringing 
this  institution  to  its  present  respectable  efficiency. 

The  founders  have  devoted  time  and  money  for  a  (|uartiT  of  eeiilui'v  and 
those  who  have  joined  the  staff  later,  for  their  |iro|ioi'ticuial  time,  have  done 
as  much. 

This  has  been  an  uuseltish  effort  to  maintain  the  stanilanl  of  medical  I'dii- 
eation  in  Southern  California  and  to  assist  in  making  Los  Angeles  the  metro|i- 
olis  of  the  Pacific  Southwest  educational  center. 

This  College  was  one  of  the  very  tirst  to  re(|iiire  a  three  years'  course  and 
then  again  it  was  right  in  the  van  when  a  four  years'  course  vi^as  adopted. 

Time  passed,  the  maintenance  of  a  medical  college  became  nuire  and  more 
expensive,  and  the  University  of  Southern  California,  with  which  it  was  affil- 
iated, was  obliged  to  use  all  the  income  of  its  endowment  foi-  tiie  support  of  its 
College  of  Liberal  Arts. 

A  committee,  consisting  of  Dr.  \V.  Jarvis  P.arlow,  Dr.  II.  Pert.  LIlis,  Dr. 
IL  G.  Brainerd  and  Dr.  Granville  MacGowan,  met  and  decided  that  the  best 
plan  to  perpetuate  the  College  as  a  high-class  educational  institution  would  be 
to  have  it  made  an  affiliated  branch  of  the  University  of  California.  In  pur- 
suance of  this  idea  this  committee,  increased  by  the  addition  of  Dr.  Joseph  P. 
Widney,  the  first  Dean  of  the  College,  went  to  Berkeley  to  present  the  plan  to 
Pi-esident  Ben.jamin  Ide  Wheeler  and  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University 
of  California.  President  Wheeler  took  great  interest  in  the  projtosition,  but 
said  the  movement  must  first  receive  the  indorsement  of  President  Hovaril  and 
the  trustees  of  the  University  of  Southern  California,  as  he  would  take  no  step 
that  would  mar  the  happy  relations  that  had  always  existed  between  the  two 
institutions.  Drs.  Widney,  Brainerd,  Barlow  and  MacGowan  each  made  a  brief 
presentation  of  the  plan  to  the  Board  of  Regents,  who  listened  with  deep  in- 
terest. President  Wheeler,  Dean  Barlow  and  the  attorney  for  the  Board  of 
Regents  then  drew  \ip  a  tentative  plan,  which  provided : 

l.st.  That  nothing  must  be  done  that  would  destroy  the  cntrnfc  cordiale 
between  the  University  of  California  and  the  University  of  Southern  California. 

2nd.  That  all  iiroi)erty  used  by  the  ^ledical  College  of  the  X^niversity  of 
Southern  California  nuist  be  deeded  to  the  University  of  California  free  from 
all  debt,  and  that  the  College  of  iMedieine  should  take  care  of  itself  financially 
for  two  years  from  July  1,  1909,  without  help  from  the  University  of  California. 

It  was  also  agreed  that :  Tn  the  event  that  the  University  of  California 
should  ever  cease  to  conduct  a  medical  college  in  Los  Angeles,  this  property 
shall  revert  to  the  Los  Angeles  College  Clinic  Association.

(>M  ntiiriiing  to  Ijos  An^clrs  Dr.  HjiiIow  presented  the  matter  to  President 
15()\ai-d  and  the  Hoard  of  Trustees  (if  the  I'niversity  of  Southern  (,'alifornia. 
With  that  l)road-niindedness  whieh  has  always  characterized  their  attitude 
towards  the  medical  dei)artment  they  agreed  to  the  sequestration  of  the  Med- 
ical College  and  bade  that  department  (iodspeed  in  its  new  relations.  Dr.  Bar- 
low then  presented  the  necessity  of  paying  a  mortgage  of  4'2(},0()0,  that  was  the 
only  lien  on  the  college;  property,  to  Mr.  .hudcson  A.  (Jraves,  vice-president  and 
manager  of  the  Farmers'  and  .Merchants'  National  Hank  of  Los  Angeles.  ^Ir. 
Graves,  with  that  clear-sighted  wisdom  and  promptness  of  decision  for  which 
ho  is  noted,  immedialely  saw  Ihe  force  of  Dr.  Hai'low's  stiitement  and  said  he 
would  give  the  $20,()(>U  needed  in  memory  of  his  son  Selwyn  Emmet  (iraves, 
who  was  completing  his  senior  year  in  the  (joUege  at  th(;  time  of  his  death. 

There  was  in  addition  to  this  mortgage  of  $2().0U0  a  note  of  .^2, GOO.  which 
sevei'al  members  of  the  faculty  personally  united  in  paying. 

This  matter  being  settled,  Dr.  Barlow  atteniled  another  meeting  of  the 
Board  of  Regents  at  Berkeley,  when  he  demonstrated  that  the  iledical  College 
was  ready  to  comply  with  all  the  requirements.  The  final  pai)ers  were  ordereil 
prepared  and  signed. 

This  closed  one  of  the  most  important  events  in  the  rdiicat  ional  history  of 
Southern  California.  ]t  also  brings  the  I'niversity  of  Califoi-nia  closer  to  us 
of  the  South. 

We  believe  it  will  prove  of  advantage  to  the  I'niversity  of  California.  W'l' 
can  now  hear  its  heart  beat.  It  |)ulsates  with  red  blood.  It  is  not  simply  a 
Berkeley  institution,  a  Los  Angeles  institution  or  a  San  Francisco  institution ; 
it  is  ,1  great  California  Fniv^rsity. 

With  that  broad  outlook  on  humanity,  foi'  which  the  administration  of 
President  Wheeler  has  a  reputation  that  is  co-extant  with  civilization  itself,  the 
T'niversity  of  California  does  not  necessarily  follow  preceilents,  but  it  creates 
examples  that  will  l)e  followed  with  pride  for  ages  yet  to  come. 

*     *     « 

The  following  resolutions  are  of  interest  in  connection  with  the  ti'ansfer  of 
the  College  of  Medicine  of  the  Cniversity  of  Southern  California  to  the  State 
University,  and  the  gift  of  .Mr.  J.  A.  Graves  of  .'|i20,000  to  pay  a  mortgage  of 
that  amount  existing  on  the  i)roperty.

Whereas.  The  Facult.v  of  the  College  of  Jledicine  and  the  Board  of  Trus-

for  twenty-four  years  harmoniously  and  suceessfidlj'  worked  together  in  their 
efforts  to  give  to  Southern  California  a  medical  college  of  highest  standing: 

.\\D  Whereas,  The  whole  trend  of  modern  medical  education,  as  well  as 
the  public  health  interests  of  California,  have  made  it  desirable  that  the  Los 
Angeles  College  of  IVIedicine,  U,  S.  C,  should  identify  itself  as  a  department  of 
the  State  Universit.v,  so  that  both  the  interests  of  medical  education  and  of

Dear  Sir: — In  aeeei)tin^-  your  gii't  oi'  !f;'J(),()(l()  lo  the  Los  Angeles  Medieal 
Department  of  the  University  of  California  we  wish  to  convey  to  you  our  sin- 
cere thanks  and  gratitude.  We  believe  tliat  in  so  doing  you  have  erected  a 
most  fitting  monument  to  the  memory  of  your  son,  whose  ability,  indiisti'v  and 
character  we  had  hoped  would  have  placed  him  in  tin'  fi'dnl  rank  ol'  his  pi'ulcs- 
sion  as  it  had  already  done  anu)ug  his  college  mates. 

In  the  practical  side  of  his  studies  your  son  was  most  interested,  and  ymw 
gift  enables  this  College  to  continue  its  gratuitous  treatment  of  the  poor,  em- 
powers its  profession  to  instruct  the  .students  of  the  futui-c  in  a  much  \\\n\-v 
satisfactory  way,  and  enables  the  institution  to  enter  into  its  wider  Held  uti- 
trammeled. 

Although  your  son  has  passed  beyond,  through  your  tender  lu\e  as  his 
father,  his  sjjirit  will  for  all  time  be  at  work  in  a  most  practical  and  efticient 
way  in  the  relief  of  human  suffering  and  the  furtherance  of  professional  skill 
among  the  students. 

In  acknowledgment  of  this  service  and  in  memory  of  so  talented  and  i)e- 
loved  a  young  man,  the  facidty  of  the  iledical  College  has  recommended  that 
the  Clinical  Building  of  this  institution  shall  be  called  "Tlie  Selwyn  Kmmett

Dear  Sir: — At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Los 
Angeles  College  Clinic  Association  held  in  Los  Angeles,  Feb.  23rd,  1909,  the  fol- 
lowing preamble  and  resolutions  were  adopted  and  ordered  spread  npon  the 
minutes  of  the  Association,  and  a  copy  of  the  same  ordered  to  be  engrossed  and 
presented  to  yourself: 

Whereas,  The  love  and  affection  of  a  father  and  a  broad  interest  in  his 
fellow-man  has  inspired  Jackson  A.  Graves  to  assume  the  payment  of  a  delit  of 
twenty  thousand  dollars  incurred  by  this  Association  for  the  erection  and 
equipment  of  a  free  dispensary  building  for  the  cure  and  relief  of  the  indigent 
sick  of  Los  Angeles  and  the  better  instruction  of  medical  students  ;  and  he  by  so 
doing  has  aided  and  facilitated  the  establishment  of  a  co-ordinate  branch  of  the 
Medieal  Department  of  the  University  of  California  in  the  City  of  Los  An- 
geles— thereby  greatly  advancing  the  cause  of  higher  medical  education  in  the 
State  of  California.  And  all  this  through  and  by  cause  of  the  fond  memory  of  a 
son  who  had  devoted  almost  four  years  of  his  life  to  generous,  thoughtful  work 
in  this  dispensary,  while  at  the  same  time  fitting  himself  for  a  brilliant  career  in

untimely  death. 

TiiEREKOKK  Bk  It  Ke8ul\  ED,  That  this  building  in  memoriam  be  called  after 
and  hereby  is  and  shall  be  known  as  the  Selwyn  Emniett  Graves  Memorial  Free 
Dispensary,  and  that  a  tablet  upon  which  these  facts  are  inscribed  be  erected 
within  and  made  a  jiart  of  this  l)uilding;  and  further 

He  It  Kesolved.  That  the  P>oard  of  Trustees  of  this  Association  acting  for

exj)ress  their  gratitude  for  this  thoughtful,  gracious  and  timely  act  of  eharity 
and  educational  assistance.

The  significance  of  control  of  the  College  of  Medicine  by  the  Regents  of  the 
State  University  lies  in  the  fact  that  the  University  of  California  is  an  integral 
part  of  the  public  educational  system  of  the  State.  As  such  it  completes  the 
work  begun  in  the  public  schools.  Through  aid  from  the  State  and  the  United 
States,  and  by  private  gifts,  it  furnishes  facilities  for  in.struction  in  literature 
and  in  science,  and  in  the  profession  of  art,  law,  medicine,  dentistry,  and  phar- 
macy. In  the  Colleges  of  Letters,  Social  Sciences,  Natural  Sciences,  Commerce, 
Agriculture,  Mechanics,  ^Mining,  Civil  Engineering,  and  Chemistry,  these  priv- 
ileges are  offered  without  charge  for  tuition,  to  all  residents  of  California  who 
are  qualified  for  admission.  Non-residents  of  California  are  charged  a  tuition 
fee  of  ten  dollars  each  half-year.  In  the  Professional  Colleges,  except  that  of 
Law,  moderate  tuition  fees  are  charged.  The  instruction  in  all  the  colleges  is 
open  to  all  qualified  persons,  without  distinction  of  sex.  The  Constitution  of  the 
State  provides  for  the  jierpetuation  of  the  University,  with  all  its  de[)artments.

As  noted  ahove,  beginning  with  the  session  of  1!)1()-1911,  the  studies  of  the 
Los  Angeles  Dei)artment  will  be  limited  to  the  clinical  work  of  the  junior  and 
senior  years,  training  in  the  laboratory  and  scientific  branches  of  the  tirst  two 
grades  being  obtained  at  Berkeley. 

For  entrance  into  the  first  year  of  medicine,  two  years'  previous  work  in 
a  College  of  Liberal  Arts,  covering  the  studies  outlined  in  the  pre-medical 
course  of  the  State  University  will  be  required.  Students  who  take  three  years 
of  work  in  the  College  of  Natural  Sciences  will  be  eligible  to  the  degrees  of 
both  A.B.  and  M.D. 

Just  how  this  entire  change  of  affiliation  will  work  out.  time  alone  can  de- 
cide, but  with  freedom  of  worry  over  the  first  two  years,  and  concentration  of 
energy  and  thought  on  the  clinical  branches  of  the  last  two  years  in  which 
medical  practitioners  are  particularly  interested,  it  would  seem,  that  with 
State  support,  the  future  of  the  institution  could  not  be  otherwise  than  most 
successful.  Such  at  least  is  the  thought  and  belief  of  those  who  have  labored 
long  and  earnestly  for  the  development  of  this  institution  and  whose  past  serv- 
ices and  loyalty  may  be  taken  as  an  index  of  their  desire  to  place  it  under  those 
conditions  most  conducive  to  its  highest  development  and  usefidness.

eini'  in  tlie  eily  of  Los  Angt'les.  probably  aijpeai'ed  in  tiie  Ao.s-  Ainjilis  Mi  (Ural 
Jiiiiniiil  (if  January  1.  1904.  in  tlie  followini;'  editorial: 

"Los  AiigT'les  is  to  have  one  more  niedieal  sehool.  The  College  of  J'hysi- 
cians  and  Surgeons,  a  charter  for  which  has  alreadj'  been  issued,  a  part  of  the 
faculty  have  been  chosen  from  the  great  abundance  of  available  material  here, 
plans  for  college  building  and  hospital  are  being  perfected,  several  available 
and  -well-located  sites  are  under  consideration,  and  the  institiition,  which  is  to 
be  a  high-class  medical  school  in  every  particular,  will  be  open  to  students  the 
coming  fall.  Los  Angeles  already  has  one  medical  school,  and  it  is  not  the  aim 
of  the  medical  gentlemen  who  are  connected  with  the  new  school  to  in  any  way 
antagonize  the  school  that  now  exists  here.  Los  Angeles  is  a  great  city,  with  a 
great  future,  with  a  climate  unexcelled,  and  one  particularly  adajited  to  stu- 
dent life ;  a  city  redolent  with  the  breath  of  flowers  and  orange  blossoms,  just 
far  enough  inland  to  enjoy  the  sea  breeze,  and  be  free  from  the  dampness  of 
the  immediate  sea  shore.  What  more  could  be  desired  by  the  young  man  or 
woman  engaged  in  the  study  of  medicine?  Snow  and  cold  is  unknown  in  Los 
Angeles,  the  student  can  enjoy  out-of-door  life  the  whole  year  round,  thereby 
keeping  his  health  up  to  the  standard,  all  of  which  should  he  an  inducement  to 
students  to  come  to  Los  Angeles  for  their  medical  education. 

"Los  Angeles  now  has  a  population,  aj^proximately  of  l.'jd.dOd.  which  will 
increase  nuiterially  each  year.  We  have  here  a  large  floating  populatitm.  which 
will  furnish  much  clinical  nuiterial,  especially  when  they  know  they  will  receive 
the  very  best  of  service  in  the  dispensary  clinic,  ilany  physicians  come  to  Los 
Angeles  for  pleasure  every  year  and  would  gladly  take  post-graduate  work  if 
the  opportunity  afforded,  and  Math  one  other  first-elass  college  in  the  field,  it 
will  stimulate  both  institutions  to  do  their  best  work.  It  will  advertise  Los  An- 
geles as  a  medical  center,  will  turn  the  attention  of  students  this  way,  and 
thereby  this  new  medical  school,  instead  of  being  a  detriment  to  the  school  now 
here,  will  be  a  benefit  to  it  and  each  to  the  other,  and  consequently  there  should 
be  no  jealou.sy  between  the  two  institutions  as  doubtless  there  will  not  be.  The 
rivalry  there  shoidd  be,  is  for  each  school  to  endeavor  to  make  its  course  more 
thorough,  and  their  ((ualification  of  entrance  and  exit  equal  to  the  best  schools 
in  the  country.  The  ti-ustees  of  the  new  'College  of  Physicians  and  Sur- 
geons,' are  determined  to  make  this  a  liigh-class  school  in  every  respect,  and 
under  these  conditions  this  Journal  extends  to  the  new  college  a  hearty  welcome, 
and  to  the  old,  assurance  of  our  good  will  and  support,  and  it  shall  be  the  policy 
of  this  Jotiriuil  to  assist  in  every  way  possible  the  trustees  and  faculties  of  the 
two  schools  to  make  the  word  '  lios  Angeles,'  synonymous  with  high-class  med- 
ical I'ducation."

ment and  faculty  of  the  institution,  as  follows : 

The  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  Los  Angeles,  California,  was

The  laying  of  the  corner-stone  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons 
was  conmiented  on  as  follows  by  the  editor  of  the  Journal: 

"The  ceremony  of  laying  the  corner-stone  of  a  new  Educational  Institution 
is  worthy  of  public  notice,  especially  one  ilesigneil  to  take  an  advanced  position 
in  teaching  medicine,  founded  upon  the  plan  of  academical  institutions. 

"The  time  has  been  when  all  the  medical  education  obtained  bj-  men  grad- 
uated consisted  of  reading  medicine  with  a  physician  in  more  or  less  active 
practice  and  'attending  two  full  courses  of  lectures  the  last  one  of  which  must 
be  at  this  college. '  Those  days  have  gone  by ;  it  has  been  found  that  the  student 
cannot  fit  himself  to  compete  with  thoroughly  educated  physicians  by  listening 
(if  not  too  sleepy,  or  the  lecture  too  dry)  to  a  course  of  didactic  lectures  only. 

"The  laboratories,  clinical  iu.struction,  and  hard  study,  is  the  new  order  of 
getting  a  medical  education.  The  course  has  been  lengthened  from  tlu-ee  years 
to  four;  the  term  from  three  mouths  to  eight;  lu^w  departments  have  been  added. 


86  ■/'///■.'  MEDICAL  I'HOF ESSIOS 

the  corps  of  instructors  greatly  increased.  Young  men  tired  of  farming,  and 
seeing  how  easy  the  country  doctors  get  rich,  cannot  h!ave  the  plow  or  shop  and 
enter  the  nearest  medical  school  without  some  preliminary  studies,  for  with  the 
advance  made  all  along  educational  lines,  the  ui)-to-date  medical  school  demands 
that  the  aspirant  for  a  diiiloma  from  this  school  shall  have  had  the  advantage 
of  prcliniin.iry  education,  for  the  science  of  medicine  is  so  ])road,  it  is  found 
that  it  rc(|uii-cs  some  preparatory  training  of  the  mind,  before  the  student  is 
capable  of  pursuing  the  study  of  medicine  advantageously.  The  school  design- 
ing to  produce  the  best  graduates  looks  well  to  the  entrance  examinations,  for 
upon  this  depends  the  quality  of  the  future  medical  student. 

"The  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Los  Angeles  has  been  founded 
by  a  body  of  men  thoroughly  in  earnest,  and  keenly  alive  to  the  rc(|uircments 
of  a  first-class  modern  medical  education;  and  the  young  man  or  woman  desiring 
such  an  education,  and  willing  to  study,  will  find  a  corps  of  teachers  competent 
and  willing  to  teach  them. 

"As  far  as  possible  didactic  lectures  are  to  be  abolished  and  their  place 
taken  by  recitations,  laboratory  work,  and  clinical  instruction.  Teachers  will 
be  required  to  know  that  the  student  understands  the  subject  in  all  its  parts 
before  passing  to  others.  The  aim  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  is 
to  graduate  only  such  persons  as  come  up  to  our  high  ideal  of  what  we  believe 
medical  practitioners  should  be. 

"With  appropriate  ceremonies,  the  corner-stone  of  the  new  and  elegant 
College  of  Physicians,  and  Surgeons  will  be  laid,  Saturday,  August  18,  1904. 
It  will  be  a  day  of  rejoicing  for  the  Trustees  and  Faculty  of  the  College,  a  year 
of  hard  and  earnest  work  accomplished;  only  by  men  endowed  with  indomitable 
courage  and  persistency  seldom  equaled  could  this  have  been  consummated.  We 
now  exultantly  give  notice  to  our  friends  and  foes  alike,  that  the  realization  of 
our  fonde.st  hopes  is  an  accomplished  fact." 


The  catalogue  of  1909-1910  contains  in  its  Proem  the  general  outline  of  the 
aims  and  scope  of  the  work  done  at  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  as 
given  below. 

This  Sixth  Annual  Catalogue  Number  and  Announcement  of  the  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Los  Angeles  would  cease  to  be  that  which  is  cus- 
tomary among  ui)-to-datc  medical  colleges — a  mere  reminder  of  time  and  place — 
of  it  were  to  endeavor  to  set  forth  fully  the  many  advantages  offered  the  student 
of  medicine  in  this  institution.  It  is  not  our  desire  nor  purpo.se  to  Imnd  you  an 
exhaustive  summing-up  of  the  many  and  varied  details  that  have  been  planned 
and  followed  out,  in  bringing  our  curriculum  up  to  the  highest  plane  of  effi- 
ciency. You,  doubtless,  are  not  particularly  interested  in  the  minutia  under- 
lying the  perfect  system  that  has  brought  out  laboratory,  recitative,  didactic 
and  clinical  departments  up  to  the  very  highest  standard;  you  are  not,  I  dare 
say,  particularly  interested  either  in  knowing  how  it  is  that  the  Faculty  of  this 
College  work  so  in  unison  as  to  be  able  to  accompli-sh  the  best  from  laboratory 
to  clinic;  but  you,  doubtless,  are  interested  in  knowing  that  the  success  of  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Los  Angeles  has  been  almost  phenomenal 
and  this  College  stands  today  in  the  front  ranks,  along  with  the  leading  medical 
institutions  of  the  covmtry.  This  result  has  not  been  achieved  easily  but  has 
been  brought  about  by  the  united  afforts,  properly  applied,  of  the  officers  and 
Faculty.  It  is  too  often  the  case  that  in.stitutions  exist  primarily  to  foster  the 
personal  ambitions  of  some  one  or  more  who  have  not  the  ability  and  are  not 
fitted,  either  by  nature  or  education,  to  fulfill  their  undertakings,  so  when  those 
men  go — as  they  ultimately  must- — they  attempt  to  drag  their  institution  and 
others  down  with  them.     This  College  has  been  and  is  strong  enough  to  resist 


IX  SOl'TIIEI.-X  CALIFOUSIA.  87 

siii-li  intliiciii-c,  mill  iiiir  iiicitld  is  "A  survival  of  the  fittest" — a  Faculty  carefully 
selected,  contlilioiially  that  their  work  must  be  up  to  the  highest  standard,  else 
thev  must  step  aside  to  make  room  for  others  who  can  and  will.  The  College  of 
Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  Los  Angeles  is  building  for  the  future  and  in  keep- 
ing" pace  with  the  reciuirements  of  the  leading  medical  colleges  of  this  twentieth 
century,  this  institution  has  advocated  in  the  i)ast,  and  will  continue  to  advocate, 
means"  and  methods  that  tend  to  elevate  and  to  place  medical  education  and 
medical  training  upon  a  higher  plane.  We  believe  that  the  young  man.  or  the 
young  woman,  who  has  in  view  and  contemplates  entering  upon  the  study  of 
medicine  should,  when  possible,  plan  their  preliminary  training  accordingly, 
embracing  in  their  groundwork  studies  the  branches  leading  up  to  a  medical 
course,  but,  where  this  is  not  possible  and  when  the  student  can  only  meet  our 
minimum  requirements,  as  set  forth  elsewhere  in  this  announcement,  this  College. 
by  the  thoroughness  of  its  first  and  second  years'  work,  is  able  to  assist  the 
student  materially  in  those  departments  which,  probably  owing  to  circumstances, 
have  not  been  open  to  him.  In  this  we  are  aided  materially  by  the  thoroughness 
of  our  laboratory  facilities.  The  student  who  is  not  endeavoring,  as  is  too  often 
the  case,  to  skim  through  his  medical  course,  but  to  profit  by  the  advantages 
offered  by  an  ui)-to-date  medical  school,  will  realize  that,  owing  to  the  vastness 
of  modern  ine(lieine,  four  years,  of  eight  months  each,  do  not  afford  sufficient 
time  to  thoroughly  cover  the  course.  This  College  believes  that  the  modern  and 
progressive  medical  school  must  increase  the  time  required  to  complete  the 
course,  therefore  we  have  taken  the  first  step  along  these  lines,  and  have  made 
our  course  nine  months  in.stead  of  eight — nine  months  of  .solid  work  in  each  and 
every  department,  each  and  every  day,  except  Sundays  and  legal  holidays,  from 
eight  o'clock  in  the  morning  until  six  o'clock  in  the  evening. 


The  City  of  Los  Angeles,  with  a  population  of  about  300,000,  is  but  little 
less  talked  of,  written  about,  and  wondered  at,  than  any  other  city  in  the  world, 
located  as  it  is,  in  the  very  heart  of  Nature's  most  favored  spot  on  earth,  sur- 
rounded by  a  semi-tropic  panorama  so  inviting  and  so  enchanting  that  all  those 
who  come  within  its  gates  are  amazed  at  the  lavishness  of  Nature's  gifts  to  the 
City  of  the  Angels — the  brightest  gem  in  the  diadem  of  America's  most  charm- 
ing cities  of  refinement  and  culture. 

Here  will  be  found  all  the  elements  that  tend  to  make  student  life  pleasant 
and  attractive.  The  ideal  climatic  infiuenees  permit  the  student  to  spend  much 
time  in  the  open  air,  'mid  surroundings  of  historic  interest,  'neath  sunny  skies, 
with  .semi-tropic  foliage,  tlowers  and  blossoms  on  every  hand,  while,  stretching 
away  into  the  distance,  are  found  orange  orchards  and  lemon  groves,  leading  up 
to  the  very  base  of  the  mountain  range,  with  towering  peaks  perpetually  covered 
with  snow  and  half  surrounding  this  garden  spot  that  Nature  has  so  well 
endowed. 

The  curriculum  of  this  College  is  so  full  and  so  broad  that  it  requires  and 
exacts  the  greater  portion  of  the  student's  time,  but  still  there  must  be  some  time 
for  relaxation  and  recreation,  and  here  Nature  has  prepared  in  abundance  op- 
portunities for  these  necessities.  The  rigorous  climate  of  the  Kast  and  the  Jlid- 
dle  West  keeps  the  student  too  much  indoors,  and,  as  a  conseiiueuce.  he  becomes 
the  subject  of  the  devitalizing  influences  of  a  physically  inactive  life.  We  invite 
the  attention  of  students  whose  health  has  become  impaired  by  climatic  condi- 
tions elsewhere,  and  yet  we  do  not  encourage  invalids  to  come  to  Los  Angeles 
for  study  in  this  College,  for  we  do  not  believe  that  invalids  should  enter  upon 
the  study  of  medicine.  The  requirements  are  too  exacting  and  the  work  too 
arduous,  and  the  man  or  woman  who  is  weak,  mentally  or  physically,  should  not

THE    COLLEGE   BI'ILDING. 

Loi-ated  at  51()  East  Washington  Street,  in  a  charming  section  of  Los  An- 
geles, surrounded  by  sj)lendid  homes  and  easy  of  access,  not  on  the  outskirts  of 
the  city,  nor  yet  too  near  the  business  center,  is  to  be  found  the  modern  and 
commodious  building  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  Our  college 
biiilding  was  designed,  planned,  and  erected  especially  for  our  use.  and  contains 
all  of  the  elements  of  a  modern  and  np-to-tlate  i-oUege  liuilding.  It  is  three- 
story,  with  l«isement.  built  of  brick,  with  stone  facings,  and  is  i)racticaliy  fire- 
proof. 

In  the  basement  is  located  our  instantaneous  water  heating  sy.stem;  a  fur- 
nace which  conveys  heated  air  to  each  department,  with  apparatus  for  forcing 
cool  and  pure  air  into  each  room  when  needed ;  storage  tanks  for  anatomical 
material;  a  receiving  and  preparation  room  for  same;  a  clay  modeling  room  for 
the  use  of  the  Anatomical  Department;  also  a  gymnasium,  well  ecpiippi'd,  and 
with  shower  bath  for  the  use  of  students. 

On  the  first  fioor  is  located  the  college  office,  faculty  room,  two  chemical 
laboratories,  thoroughly  equipped  with  all  modern  apparatus  and  appliances, 
clinical  rooms  for  each  department  of  medicine  and  surgery,  operating  room, 
sterilizing  room,  clinic  waiting  room  and  drug  room. 

Located  on  the  second  floor  are  the  Pathological,  Bacteriological,  Histolog- 
ical and  Physiological  laboratories,  which  have  east,  north  and  west  exposures, 
affording  an  abundance  of  light,  and  all  well  heated  and  eiiuipjx'd  with  all  mod- 
ern appliances.  Gla.ss  covered  tables  are  arrangi'd  ai'ound  the  north  and  west 
exposures,  and  all  the  latest  apparatus  has  been  installed.  Each  student  is  sup- 
plied with  microscope  (Bausch  and  Lomb's),  with  oil  immersion  lens,  for  use 
when  required.  Private  laboratories  form  a  part  of  the  main  laboratory  hall, 
thus  affording  opportunity^  for  private  research.  On  the  second  floor  is  also  lo- 
cated one  large  amphitheater,  seated  with  two  hundred  modern  opera  chairs ; 
one  lecture  liall  seated  with  opera  chairs;  an  Electro-Therapeutic  room,  equipped 
with  Static  Machine.  X-Ray  apparatus,  and  all  necessary  appliances;  a  chart 
room,  sui)plied  with  imported  charts,  manikins,  etc.,  arranged  for  use  in  various 
illustrative  and  didactic  work;  also  a  librarj'  and  reading  room,  commodious, 
well  lighted  and  ventilated,  and  arranged  for  the  convenience  and  use  of 
students.  ]\lany  valuable  volumes  are  found  upon  the  lil)rary  shelves,  period- 
icals and  .journals  are  also  there  for  the  use  of  our  students,  and,  upon  the  shelves 
of  the  College  ]\luseum,  may  be  found  many  rare  and  valuable  ])athological 
specimens. 

^luch  new  apparatus  has  been  added  in  the  Physiologic  and  Electro-Thera- 
peutic departments.  Stereopticon  illustration  is  one  of  the  leading  features  in 
our  primary^  departments,  and,  in  fact,  no  expense  has  been  spared  to  most  thor- 
oiighlj^  equip  this  College  with  the  latest  and  best  paraphernalia  and  equipment 
for.  the  teaching  of  modern  medicine  and  surgery.  Several  thousand  dollars  in 
apparatus  is  being  installed  for  the  opening  of  our  1909-1910  session. 

On  the  third  floor  is  located  our  Anatomical  Department,  and  it  is  most 
complete  in  every  detail.  Opening  into  our  main  Anatomical  Department,  by 
sliding  doors,  is  our  anatomical  amphitheater,  seated  with  opera  chairs  and  ar- 
ranged so  that  the  most  delicate  operations  and  demonstrations  upon  the  cadaver 
can  be  witnessed,  a  revolving  table  being  used.     All  these  features,  and  many

CALIFORNIA  ECLECTIC  MEDICAL  COLLEGE. 

The  movemcut  for  start iug  an  eclectic-  college  ht'gau  in  the  Ahinieda  County 
Eclectic  Medical  Society,  which  held  its  first  regular  meeting  at  the  office  of 
Dr.  J.  W.  Webb  in  Oakland,  Nov.  5,  1877.  Its  first  president  was  Dr.  O.  P. 
Warren,  and  its  secretary  Dr.  J.  H.  Bundy. 

Although  the  college  was  an  Eclectic  institution,  originally  the  word  Eclectic 
did  not  appear  in  the  name.  To  correct  this  defect  the  trustees  concluded 
to  alter  the  name  and  make  it  conform  to  its  teaching,  so  changed  it  to  the 
California  Eclectic  Medical  College,  in  which  form  it  was  legally  adopted  April 
9,  190(i. 

The  old  college  was  completely  destroyed  by  the  earthquake  and  fire  in 
April,  lOOfi.  After  more  than  a  year  of  uncertainty  it  was  finally  decided  not 
to  rebuild  or  open  the  college  again  in  San  Francisco;  and  after  due  delibera- 
tion its  charter  and  goodwill  were  tendered  to  the  Eclectic  ])ractitiouers  of  Los 
Angeles  and  accepted. 

An  entire  new  faculty,  building  and  equipment  were  .secured  in  the  short 
time  of  six  weeks  and  the  school  opened  in  its  new  location  on  the  appointed 
day  with  eight  students  in  attendance.  The  work  of  the  first  year  was  emi- 
nently satisfactory,  considering  the  inexperience  of  the  promoters  in  such  work 
and  the  many  difficulties  which  had  to  be  overcome.  The  second  year  the  num- 
ber of  students  was  increased  by  one,  making  nine  names  on  the  roster. 

The  lease  on  the  building  occupied,  at  No.  846  Lyon  street,  was  for  two 
years  and  expired  July  1,  1909.  A  new  and  better  location  was  then  secured 
at  No.  337  South  Hill  street,' right  in  the  heart  of  the  city,  where  the  college 
is  now  conveniently  and  comfortably  established.  A  number  of  the  local  Eclec- 
tic physicians  united  in  giving  the  institution  financial  backing  .so  that  the  col- 
lege has  ac((uired  no  debts  and  has  reasonably  prospered. 

All  the  chairs  on  the  faculty  are  filled  and  it  was  a  pleasant  surprise  to 
find  so  much  capable  teaching  talent  in  its  members.  The  number  of  students 
for  the  current  term  is  more  than  twice  the  number  in  either  of  the  previous 
years — nine  freshmen  and  twenty-two  matriculated  in  all  classes. 

The  California  Eclectic  Medical  Journal  is  the  organ  of  the  college,  and 
is  devoted  to  the  development  and  welfare  of  Eclectic  medicine  on  the  Pacific 
Coast.    Dr.  0.  C.  Welbourn  is  its  editor.

SOUTHERN    CALIFOENIA    PRACTITIONER. 

This  jiiui-iial.  now  in  its  twenty-tii'tii  year,  came  into  existence  because 
there  was  a  need  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  of  a  periodical  that  would  serve  as 
a  medium  of  intercourse  among  the  members  of  the  medical  profession  of 
Southern  California.  Its  quarter  of  a  century  of  useful  existence  has  more  than 
justified  its  reason  for  being,  and  it  may  be  safelj-  asserted  that  there  have  been 
few,  if  any,  agencies  that  have  worked  so  greatly  for  the  unification  of  the  pro- 
fession in  Southern  California  as  has  this  medical  publication,  which  has  ap- 
peared without  lapse  every  month  for  the  last  twenty-five  years.  Its  foundei-s 
were  Drs.  J.  P.  ^Vi(lney,  Walter  Lindlcy  and  .Inseph  Kurtz. 

The  spirit  of  its  first  editorials  has  been  that  which  has  dominated  its 
career  throughout,  and  as  presenting  the  view  point  of  the  leaders  of  the  pro- 
fession of  this  region  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  it  may  be  interesting  to  quote 
somewhat  from  several  editorials  of  the  first  three  issues  of  the  magazine. 

From  the  Salutatory  we  take  the  following: 

"The  question  may  be  asked,  Why  add  one  more  to  the  long  li.st  of  medical 
journals?  The  answer  is  the  old,  stale  one,  which  has  probably  ushered  in  the 
birth  of  many  a  similar  pulilication.  because  we  feel  that  for  this  journal  there 
is  a  field  and  a  work. 

"Of  journals  devoted  to  the  science  of  medicine  in  general,  there  are  prob- 
ably already  enough.  Of  journals  devoted  to  the  wants  and  the  local  pecu- 
liarities of  the  different  climatic  belts  of  America,  there  will  only  be  enough 
when  every  such  climatic  belt  is  represented.  A  reference  to  the  opening  ar- 
ticle of  this  number,  The  Anglo-Teuton  in  a  New  Home,  will  show  what  some  of 
the  race  tjuestions  are  for  the  climatic  belt  embracing  this  southwestern  portion 
of  America.  The  article  is  the  first  of  a  series  iijion  similar  topics.  It  is  ex- 
pected to  make  this  line  of  investigation  an  especial  feature  of  the  journal,  and 
to  take  up  and  carefully  discuss  the  climatic  peculiarities  of  the  different  sec- 
tions distinctively  known  as  Southern  Califoruia,  and  of  the  great  inland  jila- 
teau  embracing  Arizona,  Xew  ]\rexico  and  the  elevated  jiart  of  the  ^lexican  in- 
terior, a  region  already  widely  known  throughout  the  JIast  and  in  Europe  for 
its  salubrity.  It  is  the  expectation  of  the  editors  to  secure  carefully-prepared 
articles  from  the  ditferent  portions  of  this  belt  descriptive  of  local  peculiarities 
of  climate  and  disease,  for  while  certain  climatic  features  are  common  to  the 
whole,  local  variations  and  peculiarities  are  at  many  points  strongly  marked, 
and  should  he  carefull.v  considered  before  selecting  a  luune  for  invalids  or 
health-seekei-s.  Carefully-prepared  oi-iginal  articles  upon  medical  aiul  surgical 
topics  will  be  sought  and  published,  especially  those  of  a  practical  character. 
It  is  hoped  also  to  nuike  this  journal  a  means  of  still  more  closely  uniting  the 
medical  i)rofession  of  Southern  California. 

"Distance,  rugged  intervening  mountains,  and  eiitirel.v  diverse  commercial 
and  industrial  interests,  which  are  nmking  of  California  two  separate  and  dis- 
tinct sections,  have  also,  in  a  great  nu^asure,  prevented  a  close  union  of  the  med- 
ical profession.    Southei'u  Califcu'iiia  has  developed  its  own  intellectual  life  and 


34  THE  MEDICAL  PROFESSION 

its  own  educational  system.  We  believe  the  time  has  come  for  the  establish- 
ment of  its  own  medical  journals  and  societies. 

"It  is  with  no  feeling  of  jealous  rivalry,  therefore,  toward  the  journals  of 
the  upper  portion  of  the  State  that  we  enter  upon  our  work,  but  because  we 
feel  that  the  field  is  broad  and  our  roads  are  different.  In  this  spirit,  we  send 
greetings  to  our  brethren  of  the  north." 

From  the  second  editorial  on  "What  ^ledical  ^leii  Should  Write,"  equally 
entertaining  knowledge  may  be  derived: 

"It  has  been  said  that  a  man  never  really  knows  a  thing  until  he  can  tell  it. 
The  statement  would  be  much  more  correct  if  it  were  that  a  man  never  really 
knows  a  thing  until  he  can  write  it,  for  many  a  hazy,  ill-understood  and  ill- 
defined  idea  daily  passes  muster  in  speech,  the  weakness  of  which  would  be  de- 
tected in  a  moment  if  written.  Nothing  so  conduces  to  accuracy  of  thought 
and  clearness  of  expression  as  the  habit  of  writing. 

"The  effect  upon  the  mind  of  much  writing  is  seen  in  the  members  of  the 
legal  profession,  a  profession  noted  for  the  exactness  of  its  mental  work.  Here 
the  work  of  the  profession  is  largely  done  in  writing,  and  to  the  mental  training 
thus  given  may  be  attributed  much  of  the  preponderating  influence  of  the  gen- 
tlemen of  the  law  in  public  affairs.  They  simply  are  the  men  most  trained  to 
accurate  thought. 

"The  number  of  physicians  who  make  a  practice  of  writing  upon  topics 
pertaining  to  their  profession  is  much  smaller  than  it  should  be. 

"The  ideal  state  of  the  profession  would  be  with  every  physician  a  writer, 
at  least  every  one  in  active  practice ;  for  every  man  who  takes  the  responsibility 
of  human  life  upon  his  hands  shovdd  neglect  no  means  of  educating  himself  for 
the  conscientious  and  successful  practice  of  his  high  calling,  and  the  habit  of 
thinking  upon  paper  is  possil)iy  of  all  means  the  most  productive  in  solid  results. 
This  part  of  the  professional  work  should  not  be  left  to  the  professors  in  medical 
colleges,  or  to  men  of  literary  taste.  If  they  only  were  allowed  to  treat  disease 
there  might  be  some  reason  in  it,  but  when  all  men  in  the  active  work  of  the 
profession  must  take  daily  upon  themselves  this  responsibility,  they  have  no 
moral  right  to  neglect  any  means  of  education. 

"What  shall  a  physician  write  about? 

"His  own  work.  His  own  locality.  These  are  his  fields.  He  need  not  wait 
for  some  strange,  seldom-heard-of  case.  While  such  cases  do  happen,  they  be- 
long rather  to  the  curiosities  of  medical  and  surgical  literature  than  to  the  prac- 
tical, every-day  work  of  the  physician's  life.  A  plain,  carefully  studied,  care- 
fully reported  case  of  phthisis,  or  of  fracture  of  one  of  the  large  bones  will  be 
of  more  profit  to  both  writer  and  reader  than  an  article  upon  morbus  Addisonii 
or  ligature  of  the  common  carotid. 

"A  carefully  and  accurately  compiled  original  report  upon  the  topograph- 
ical and  climatic  features  of  any  locality  will  be  of  far  more  value  than  an 
ambitious  article  upon  the  yellow  fever  microbe,  which,  from  the  pen  of  an 
ordinary  practitioner,  can  be  only  copied  from  the  writings  of  those  who  are 
making  this  line  of  investigation  a  specialty. 

"How  shall  he  WTite? 

"In  the  plainest  and  shortest  of  Anglo-Saxon  English.  The  busy  man  of 
any  profession  wants  the  facts  and  the  logic,  not  the  embellishment  and  rhetoric. 
The  day  for  the  stilted  Latinized  English  of  Milton  and  Johnson  is  gone,  never 
to  return  to  the  English-speaking  peoples.  And  so  in  science.  While  scientific 
and  technical  phraseology  has  its  proper  place  and  is  indispensable  within  that 
place,  many  a  medical  and  surgical  article  is  loaded  down  with  an  ultra  technical 
jargon  which  is  simply  barbarous.  Such  a  style  does  not  necessarily  show 
knowledge.     The  editorial  chair  has  in  mind  one  such  book  upon  its  shelves,  a 


LV  SO  VTHERN  CA  L I  FORMA.  95 

recent  work  iipdii  iktvous  diseases,  which  is  such  a  bewildering  medley  of  de- 
fective English,  bad  Latin,  worse  French  and  newly  coined  so-called  scientific 
terms  especially  manufactured  by  the  author  to  help  out  the  combined  poverty 
of  these  tongues,  that  to  open  its  pages  fairl}-  makes  the  hair  of  a  modest,  quiet 
linguist  stand  erect. 

"Dear  friends,  beware  of  the  too  utterly  utter,  and  read  Job  xxxvii:2. 

""When  shall  he  write? 

"Not  simply  when  the  spirit  moves  him,  or  some  divine  afflatus  breathes 
upon  him.  The  spirit  is  apt  to  cease  moving  one  to  write  as  cares  and  practice 
and  money  accumulate.  It  is  better  to  let  the  sense  of  duty  be  the  moving  spirit. 
And  it  is  a  duty  that  he  should  pay  back  into  the  common  fund  of  medical 
knowledge  some  small  portion  of  the  debt  for  that  which  he  received,  and  should 
cease  to  be  only  a  species  of  professional  .sponge,  ever  absorbing,  never  produc- 
ing. And  so  .shall  he  not  only  pay  his  debt,  but  shall  also  grow  in  mental 
stature  and  professional  power. 

"And  when  he  has  written,  what  then? 

"Then  re-write.  Condense.  Strike  out.  Clear  up  the  ambiguities.  Erase 
the  long  word  and  use  a  shorter  if  it  will  express  the  idea.  And  when  he  can 
improve  no  more  pick  out  the  best  and  send  it  to  a  medical  .journal  for  publica- 
tion. And  above  all  let  him  remember  that  what  is  written  carelessly  and  hur- 
riedly is  generally  of  little  worth ;  and  also  remember  that  no  man  can  afford, 
for  his  own  sake,  to  have  published  what  he  has  carelessly  prepared."

Thu  first  nuiiibcr  of  this  i)ul)lic:i1  iim,  which  was  intendpcl  to  be  a  monthly 
journal  of  inediciiic  and  surgery  and  the  allied  seieiiees,  came  off  the  press  in 
June,  1S!)5,  under  the  editorship  of  Drs.  J.  F.  T.  Jenkins  and  A.  Davidson,  and 
having  as  collaborators  the  staff  of  the  Los  Ancjths  I'ohjdink. 

The  Pohjclinic  existed  for  some  fifteen  months,  and  the  publication  was  then 
discontinued. 


LOS    ANGELES    MEDICAL    JOURNAL. 

The  TjOS  Angeles  Mcdieal  Journal  first  appeared  Xovember  15,  1903.  under 
the  editorship  of  Ernest  S.  Pillsbury,  ^l.D.,  of  Los  Angeles,  and  was  stated  to 
be  a  monthly  journal  devoted  to  medicine,  surgery,  dentistry,  hospital  and 
nursing.  Subse(iuently  Dr.  Charles  ii.  Nichols  became  editor,  and  in  1906  the 
late  James  P.  Hoothe,  .M.D.,  assumed  the  editorship.  The  last  number  of  this 
publication  was  issued  in  March,  1909,  at  whidi  time  it  was  merged  into  th(^ 
California  Medical  and  Surgical  Reporter. 


CALIFORNIA    MEDICAL    AND    SURGICAL    REPORTER. 

Tiiis  is  a  monthly  journal  of  medicine  and  surgery  brought  into  existence 
by  the  late  Charles  P.  Wagar.  M.D.,  the  first  number  appearing  in  January, 
1905.    Since  his  death  in  June.  1908,  it  has  been  published  under  the  supervision 

of  ^r.  li.  (;.  Wauar  as  nuunrging  editor. 


HISTORY  OF   THE  MEDICAL  PROFESSION  IN   SOUTHERN   CALIFORNIA. 

This  publication,  which  is  herewith  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  reader, 
owed  its  origin  to  ilr.  M.  A.  Haines,  who  persuaded  Dr.  George  H.  Kress  to 
write  an  historical  sketch  and  Dr.  Walter  Lindley  an  introduction  for  the  work. 
While  the  book  was  being  compiled,  'Sir.  Raines'  home  was  burned  to  the 
ground  and  much  of  the  manuscript  was  lost.  An  accident  at  the  printer's 
destroyed  a  consitlerable  amount  more.  In  the  meantime,  Jlr.  Kaiiies  fell  heir 
to  an  estate  of  two  hnndred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars  in  England  and  lost  no 
time  in  returning  to  that  country.  I'uder  these  circumstances  the  Times  Job 
Ol'lice  took  over  the  responsibilities  of  the  publisher,  the  book  being  gotten  into 
form  and  completed  as  far  as  possil)le  by  the  editor.  The  first  edition  was  printed 
and  all  the  copies  outside  of  the  City  of  Los  Atigeles  were  delivered,  when  the 
fearful  I'atastrophe  occurred  which  destroyed  the  Times  plant.  In  the  fire  every 
plate  and  vestige  of  this  volume  were  destl-oyed. 

In  order  to  keej)  faith  with  the  subscribers  who  hail  paid  part  of  their  sub- 
scriptions to  Mr.  Haines,  it  was  necessary  for  the  Times  Office  to  print  an  entirely 
new  edition,  of  which  this  volume  is  a  copy. 

Whatever  its  defi'cts  may  he.  and  of  course  in  a  work  of  this  kind  many 
could  l}e  i>nintc(l  out.  the  volume  has  at  least  served  the  purpose  of  gathering 
together  a  somewhat  interesting  array  of  historical  and  biogra]ihical  data,  which 
to  those  of  a  succeeding  generation  iiia>'  not  be  witiiont  some  value,  as  it  is  hoped 
they  will  lie  of  interest   to  its  present    i-eaders  and  snlis<-ribers.

EDWIN  CHARLES  BUELL,  M.  D. 


BuELL,  Edwin  Charles.  After  this  book 
had  gone  to  press,  news  was  received  of  the 
death  of  Dr.  E.  C.  Buell  at  Genoa,  Italy,  on 
July  26,  1910.  For  biographical  data,  the 
reader  is  referred  to  page  114.  It  may  not 
be  out  of  place  to  here  print  the  resolutions 
passed  by  the  California  State  Board  of  Med- 
ical Examiners. 

"Whereas,  Dr.  E.  C.  Buell,  who  had  prac- 
ticed medicine  and  been  noted  as  a  surgeon  in 
Los  Angeles  for  over  twenty  years,  and  who 
was  a  member  of  the  California  State  Board  of 
Medical  Examiners  from  1901  to  1907,  and 
who  -served  as  the  first  president  of  the  board, 
died  of  appendicitis  in  Genoa,  Italy,  July  26, 
1910;   therefore  be  it 

"Resolved,  that  we,  the  members  of  the 
California  State  Board  of  Medical  Examiners 
in  session  assembled  in  San  Francisco,  August 
1,  1910,  hereby  register  our  deep  sorrow  at 


the  untimely  taking  away  of  our  friend  and 
confrere. 

"Dr.  Buell  was  eminent  in  his  professional 
work,  universally  respected  by  all  physicians 
who  knew  him,  and  deeply  beloved  by  those 
who  were  thrown  in  close  association  with 
him. 

"As  a  citizen  he  was  honorable,  upright 
and  public  spirited,  as  a  man  he  was  delight- 
ful, lovable  and  generous.  One  year  ago  he 
was  moving  into  a  beautiful  residence  to  enjoy 
the  well-earned  comforts  of  an  ideal  home. 
In  December,  1909,  his  wife  suddenly  died 
from  an  organic  heart  disease.  This  trip 
around  the  world,  which  his  friends  hoped 
would  bring  him  surcease  of  sorrow  and  re- 
newed health,  ended  with  a  distressing  death 
in  a  foreign  land. 

"To  his  brother  and  sister  in  Ohio  we  send 
this  as  a  testimonial  of  the  high  character 
of  Dr.  Buell,  and  the  love  and  esteem  that  we 
bore  him." 


THOMAS  ALBERT  DAVIS,  M.  D. 


Among  the  leading  physicians  and  surgeons 
of  Southern  California  stands  the  name  of 
Thomas  Albert  Davis,  whose  early  demise  at 
the  age  of  42  occurred  in  San  Diego  on  the 
last  day  of  the  year  1892.  Dr.  Davis  was  born 
in  Fredericksburg,  Md.  Studied  medicine  in 
Missouri,  graduating  from  the  St.  Louis  Med- 
ical College.  After  his  graduation  he  engaged 
in  practice  in  Arnoldsville,  Mo.,  but  soon  after- 
wards entered  the  army  as  an  actg.  asst.  sur- 
geon, serving  actively  in  the  field  with  troops 
on  the  plains  in  protracted  Indian  campaigns, 
where  on  many  occasions  he  exhibited  great 
personal  courage  in  attending  to  the  wounded 
under  fire.  After  leaving  the  army  he  prac- 
ticed in  Soccoro,  N.  M.,  from  whence  he  came

THE  MKniCAL   rilOl'ESSlOS 


to  San  Diego.  His  early  death  was  due  to 
pyemia,  which  he  contracted  from  a  patient 
with  an  infectious  wound.  His  wife,  who  died 
some  years  later,  was  formerly  Miss  Nancy 
Jane  Hosick  of  Leavenworth,  Kansas.  Three 
children  survive  the  couple,  John  Henry, 
Mabel  Sue  and  Carlotta  Darcus. 

The  estimate  of  his  character,  as  understood 
by  his  fellow  practitioners  in  San  Diego,  was 
best  summarized  in  the  dedication  of  a  small 
work  on  climato.logy  wherein  its  author,  Dr.  P. 
C.  Remondino,  dedicates  jt  to  the  memory  of 
Thomas  A.  Davis,  "a  brave  soldier,  unassum- 
ing physician,  exemplary  citizen  and  true 
Christian."  "  P.  C.  R. 


EDWARD  GROVE,  M.   D. 


FRANCIS  LEADER  HAYNES 


Gro\e,  Edward,  San  Diego,  Cal.  Born  in 
Rutherglen,  Scotland,  in  1873.  Received  the 
M.  D.  degree  from  the  Cleveland  University  in 
1897,  and  began  practice  in  San  Diego  that  year. 
Member  of  the  California  State  Homeopathic 
Society,  the  Southern  California  Homeopathic 
Society,  and  of  the  San  Diego  County  Medical 
Association.  Was  Vice-president  of  the  Agnew 
Sanitarium,  San  Diego,  and  was  a  member 
of  the  Municipal  Board  of  Health  for  a  number 
of  years.  Was  ex-president  of  the  San  Diego 
Chamber  of  Commerce  and  served  the  city 
in  numerous  capacities.  Married  Ynez  Brad- 
shaw  in  1899,  and  had  one  daughter.  To  the 
extreme  regret  of  his  many  friends  and  patients, 
Dr.  Edward  Grove  was  the  victim  of  an  auto- 
mobile accident  which  happened  while  on  a  call 
of  duty  October  19,  1909.  His  loss  as  a  physi- 
cian, a  citizen  and  a  friend  is  keenly  felt  by  the 
whole  community  in  which  he  resided. 


Haynes,  Francis  Leader,  was  born  in 
Philadelphia,  July  11,  1850;  died  in  Los  An- 
geles, October  18,  1898.  He  graduated  from  the 
Medical  Department  of  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania in  1869.  On  account  of  his  youth 
he  was  not  permitted  to  go  upon  the  stage 
with  his  class.  A  frail,  delicate  boy  of  nineteen, 
yet  he  was,  over  several  influential  competitors, 
chosen  as  interne  for  the  Episcopal  Hospital. 
After  eighteen  months  in  the  hospital,  he  began 
practice  in  Philadelphia,  ju.st  as  he  reached 
twenty-one.  The  practice  that  came  to  this 
beardless  youth  was  phenomenal.  On  account 
of  his  health  he  came  to  Los  Angeles  in  1887. 

The  following  resolutions  were  adopted 
at  the  regular  meeting  of  the  Southern  Cali- 
fornia Medical  Society,  held  in  Los  Angeles 
in  December,  1898,  and  tell  of  his  position 
here: 

"Whereas,  in  the  wisdom  of  Divine  Provi- 
dence, Dr.  Francis  L,  Haynes,  one  of  our  most 
active  and  valued  members,  has,  in  the  prime 
of  his  manhood,  been  summoned  from  his 
earthly  labors  to  receive  his  reward  above, 
therefore  be  it 

"  Resolved,  That  in  his  death  we  recognize 
that  the  foe  with  whom  we  are  engaged  in 
an  eternal  combat  has  taken  from  our  ranks 
one  who  cannot  well  be  spared,  and  one  who, 
by  his  works,  has  not  only  reflected  honor 
upon  the  society  which  he  adorned,  but  also 
upon  the  community  in  which  he  has  so  success- 
fully followed  his  profession. 

"Resolved,  That  the  committee  desire,  in 
behalf  of  the  society,  to  express  its  deep  ap- 
preciation of  a  faithful,  talented,  skillful  mem- 
ber, who  ever  will  be  regarded  as  having  been  an 
apostle  in  Southern  California  in  promulgat- 
ing the  doctrines  of  aseptic  surgery,  and 
w'hose  efforts  here  have  given  an  impetus  to 
local  surgery,  which  will  be  felt  for  many  years 
to  come. 


L\  SOUTHERN  CALIFORSIA.

"Resolved,  That  the  committee,  also  in 
behalf  of  the  society,  desires  to  express  its 
acknowledgment  of  his  superior  surgical  skill; 
of  the  courtesy  universally  shown  by  him  to 
those  who  desired  to  profit  by  his  knowledge; 
and  of  his  efforts  towards  furnishing  the  local 
profession  with  trained  nurses. 

"Resolved,  That  this  report  be  spread  upon 
the  minutes  of  the  society,  and  that  the  sec- 
retary be  instructed  to  furnish  copies  to  his 
brothers  and  sisters  and  his  aged  father. 

Ceph.a.s  L.  Bard,  Chairman. 
H.  B.  Wing. 
Carl  Kurtz." 

Dr.  Haynes  was  the  author  of  numerous 
articles  on  surgical  subjects,  in  all  of  which 
he  made  prominent  the  importance  of  asepsis. 
The  articles  which  he  wrote  then  would  be 
considered  up  to  modern  ideas  today.  He 
was  also  the  author  of  a  primer  on  surgical 
nursing,  which  was  published  fifteen  years 
ago,  and  was  a  great  missionary  document, 
carrying  the  gospel  of  surgical  cleanliness  to 
every  nurse  in  Southern  California.
